Rabbi Nomi Manon is the Executive Director of University at Albany Hillel, where she works with hundreds of students in exploring Judaism and their Jewish identities and where she teaches courses in Judaic Studies.
Kolot, the first Center for Jewish Women’s and Gender Studies established at a rabbinical school, was founded in 1996 to bring the insights of Jewish feminist scholarship to the training of rabbis, both in a revised curriculum and through innovative projects. Among these projects, Kolot developed ritualwell.org, a widely used feminist website of new Jewish rituals and liturgy, and a program to enhance self-esteem in teenaged girls, Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing!
