Kolot brings insights and innovative practices from the academic study of gender and Judaism to the Jewish community. The programs and materials developed by Kolot make the time-honored traditions of Judaism meaningful and relevant for contemporary Jews by supporting innovation in Jewish living and thought. As a feminist center in a rabbinical college, Kolot is well positioned to do so, with its director holding the Gottesman Chair in Gender and Judaism – the first and only chaired senior professorship in this field.
In fulfillment of its goals, Kolot:
-
Advances scholarship, training Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) students and other Jewish leaders, to build inclusive Jewish communities
-
Develops resources and provides programs in the fields of Jewish women's and gender studies for Jews across the denominational spectrum
-
Brings expertise in the gender analysis of Judaism to Jewish agencies and academic settings around the world.
