Rabbi Andrew Klein

Picture
Born in San Antonio, Texas, Rabbi Klein was raised in the Reform Movement where he was an active member in local, regional, and national youth activities, all of which helped build his sense of Jewish pride and Jewish identity, leading to his desire to become a rabbi.   Rabbi Klein attended the University of Texas, receiving a B.A. with honors in Psychology and also Elementary Education certification in 1974. He taught in the Houston independent School District and also ran a business in Houston before realizing his lifelong dream and entering rabbinical school in 1996.  

Rabbi Klein's rabbinic experiences as a student at the Hebrew Union College New York campus included: serving as student rabbi for Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation in Ashburn, Virginia for 4 years; receiving a CLAL (Center for Learning and Leadership) rabbinic fellowship to study texts weekly in a pluralistic Jewish setting; coordinating the Gay/Lesbian outreach program for the Jewish Community Center on the Upper West Side for 2 years; teaching a 30-week Derekh Torah Intro to Judaism course for the 92nd St. Y; and receiving CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) certification in an interfaith setting at New York University Medical Center.
