Our Community Within

 We strive to gather as a whole community, and also nurture the development of affinity groups within the larger congregation.. --Kolot Chayeinu Values Statement

 

Locally Grown

Kolot Chayeinu is is developing services and activities specifically for members and non-members in their 20's and 30's.  Last year we began with LOCALLY GROWN SHABBAT at Kolot Chayeinu/Voice of Our Lives, a minyan for people in their 20s and 30s that's pure Brooklyn and it continues on, led this year by Student Rabbi Scott Fox and member Heath Reynolds.

LGBT

Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender People, and Queers are proud members of Kolot Chayeinu.   Our synagogue brings our identities--LGBTQ and Jews--together in a supportive, spiritual community.

MISSION STATEMENT

We are a Jewish congregation in Brooklyn, where doubt can be an act of faith and all hands are needed to build our community. We are creative, serious seekers who pray joyfully, wrestle with tradition, pursue justice and refuse to be satisfied with the world as it is. As individuals of varying sexual orientations, gender identities, races, family arrangements, and Jewish identities and backgrounds, we share a commitment to the search for meaningful expressions of our Judaism in today's uncertain world.    READ MORE
