Congregation Kolot Chayeinu
Congregation Kolot Chayeinu (Hebrew: קולות חיינו, lit. 'Voices of Our Lives') is a progressive unaffiliated Jewish congregation, that worships in Gethsemane Church, at 1012 8th Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States.

History

Rabbi Ellen Lippmann established Kolot Chayeinu, a progressive Jewish synagogue in Brooklyn in 1993, initially as a small group of people that met around her dining room table. Over the years it has grown to have its own space and staff, including an ordained cantor; 300+ members, and a Children's Learning Program.

As of May 2024, Transgender Activist and author, Rabbi Abby Stein is serving as the interim rabbi of Kolot Chayeinu.
