Kohenet Kavannah (organizational Intention)

Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute reclaimed and innovated embodied, earth-based feminist Judaism. Kohenet's spiritual leadership training, ordination programs, publications and community offerings centered ritual as transformative practice. 

We drew from ways women and other marginalized people have led across time - shrinekeepers, prophetesses and wise women of the Hebrew Bible and beyond. Kohenet honored the ways in which Shekhinah appears to us through traditions, imaginations, prayers, dreams, ancestors, and role models throughout Jewish history. We celebrated the sacred in the body, the earth and the cosmos.

Kohenet was a training program, a sacred community, and a movement changing the paradigm of Jewish spiritual leadership. 

Kohenet Shabbat, holidays, and Virtual Temple / online classes were open to all.

The three-year Kohenet training and ordination program welcomed applications from trans women, cis women, and nonbinary people, who are drawn to Kohenet’s kavannah.
