Welcome to Kolot Chayeinu/Voices of Our Lives

B’rukhim ha-baim!  Welcome to Kolot Chayeinu’s website!  Kolot Chayeinu is a community that grew from a home-based havurah with a dream of a cafe for conversation, learning, and even prayer and this website is our modern-day cafe.

ADDRESS CHANGE!

As part of Kolot's strengthening of our behind-the-scenes administrative systems and due to some security concerns about mail, Kolot has a new mailing address.

Our administrative office -- where our administrative staff work -- is now Kolot's mailing address and official home for all correspondence to Kolot.  This will better help our office staff collect checks and process them, as well as reduce the possibility of misplaced or misdirected checks which has been a problem in the past when mail was directed to the old 8th Avenue address. This change is in synch with Kolot's physical realities: we already have separate administrative offices (President Street) from where we we worship (8th Avenue); now we are just letting the post office and all who are sending mail to Kolot know that, too. Going forward, here is where to reach Kolot:

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE (where our staff work and where all checks and correspondence should be mailed):

Kolot Chayeinu

540 President Street, 3rd Floor

Brooklyn, NY 11215

WORSHIP SPACE (where we gather for Shabbat, holidays and special programs):

Kolot Chayeinu

1012 8th Avenue

Brooklyn, NY 11215
