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, in the 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.[1] 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.
