THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb

“Every generation needs the intergenerational connection with elders.”

One of the first women to become a rabbi in Jewish history, a pioneer Jewish feminist, human rights activist, writer, visual artist, ceremonialist, community educator and master storyteller. Lynn has been a congregational rabbi since the fall of 1973, and founded the Congregation Nahalat Shalom in Albuquerque, NM, in 1980.
