About me
Rabbi Andy Kahn (he/they) is a Brooklyn-based rabbi and the executive director of the American Council for Judaism (ACJ). The ACJ was founded in 1942 to uphold Reform Judaism as a tradition dedicated to universal ethics and justice at a time when many Jewish institutions began centering Zionism; it now supports individuals and groups in cultivating Jewish ritual spaces and practices grounded in justice, solidarity, and humility and fosters solidarity beyond nationalism. They are a leader with Rabbis for Ceasefire, on the JVP Rabbinic Council, and are the former associate rabbi of Temple Emanu-El of New York. Together with Dania Rajendra, Andy has developed the Abolition Judaism framework to revive the Jewish tradition of thinking alongside and learning from our neighbors.
