Kolot brings insights and innovative practices from the study of gender and Judaism to the Jewish community.

Kolot offers courses, pastoral education, faculty education and certification in gender and Judaism and Jewish women's studies at RRC. Kolot's educational programs and materials make the time-honored traditions of Judaism meaningful and relevant for contemporary Jews by supporting innovation in Jewish living and thought.

• Rabbinical Training: Kolot incorporates the perspectives of gender theory, social history, psychology and other disciplines into the training of rabbinical students. Course offerings include Bible and the Feminist Imagination and Images of the Body in Jewish Mysticism. Kolot provides pastoral education on domestic violence and breast cancer in the Jewish community.
• Ritualwell.org: This Web site gives people everywhere access to the richness of new liturgy and ritual that add meaning to Judaism and Jewish life. With ceremonies to sanctify holidays and the full range of life occasions, Ritualwell.org, co-created by Kolot and Mayan, is the most complete resource of its kind.
• Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies: Kolot, in conjunction with Temple University's women's studies program, offers a certificate program in Jewish women's studies to rabbinical and graduate students as well as to non-matriculated students.
• Henny Wenkart Writer-in-Residence Program: This endowed program supports public readings and lectures by distinguished feminist Jewish writers. It introduces the best feminist thought to the local community and helps ensure that the next generation of rabbis will incorporate new perspectives into their teaching and liturgy. Writers-in-Residence have included: Marge Piercy, Merle Feld, Linda Zisquit, David Ehrlich, Nessa Rapoport, Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg, and Jennifer Weiner.
• Beckerman Kolot Library Fund: This endowment fund supports a collection of resources in gender studies at RRC's Mordecai M. Kaplan Library, including books, periodicals, and other materials.
• Conferences and Publications: Kolot's groundbreaking 1998 conference on Food, Body Image, and Judaism inspired the development of a Rosh Hodesh program for teen-aged girls. Kolot publications promote gender-sensitive Jewish practice.
• Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! - an experiential program created by Kolot - strengthens the Jewish identity and self-esteem of adolescent girls through monthly celebrations of the New Moon festival. Having successfully completed the development of the first edition of the sourcebook and piloting and evaluating over 150 groups around the country, in 2004, Kolot and RRC spun off the program to Moving Traditions, which is now making it available to girls of all denominations and affiliations in communities across North America.

• Community Outreach: Kolot provides consulting, teaching, and speaking services in a variety of venues nationally and internationally.
