Kohenet Kavannah (organizational Intention)

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

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

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

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

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