Kinneret Shiryon

Kinneret Shiryon (born 1955 in the United States)[1] is the first female rabbi in Israel.[2] She is the spiritual leader of Kehillat Yozma, Modi'in's Reform congregation, which she helped establish[3] in 1997; Kehillat Yozma is the first non-Orthodox congregation in Israel to receive state funding for its synagogue.[4][5]

Shiryon was chairwoman of the Council of Progressive Rabbis in Israel (MARAM),[2] as well as one of the rabbis who contributed to the book Three Times Chai: 54 Rabbis Tell Their Favorite Stories. She contributed the story "Challahs in the Ark."[6] She also directed the University Student Outreach programs at UAHC's International Department of Education in Jerusalem.[7]

Shiryon was ordained at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York in 1981.[8] She and her husband Baruch have four children (Ayelet, Erez, Inbar, and Amichai).[8][7]
