Congregation Kehillath Israel

Congregation Kehillath Israel We are a warm, vibrant and inclusive community enriching Jewish life since 1917. Our past is rich in decades, personalities, and stories.

Congregation Kehillath Israel’s commitments to education, Zionism, and Jewish tradition have thrived for more than 90 years, ever since KI was established as the first Brookline synagogue in 1917. We are proud of the more than 60 rabbis and professional educators that have grown up in our community over the years. We strive to continue to strengthen our bond with Israel, provide first-rate learnin

g experiences, and enable congregants from all backgrounds to experience the holiness of prayer. KI’s role as a bedrock of the Boston Jewish community has led us to the forefront of religious egalitarianism – with a strong commitment to women’s full participation in all of our services. Our historic position enables us to communally host many events and lectures of timely concern to the wider region. Our present brims with content, connections, and cause. We welcome new faces and seasoned ones; people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and orientations; and encourage everyone to join us and lend your willing heart and hands to scripting our future.

"Forgiveness ought never result from side-stepping accountability. And those with malicious designs deserve no association with it. But most of our family and friends, our neighbors and acquaintances, just need an gracious offramp that grants them a chance to rise to being at their better selves."
