Welcome Friends!
We are glad you've found us.We are Yelala, a constellation of projects founded and co-created by Kohenet Yael Tischler and Kohenet Rachel Rose Reid.
We weave rituals, learning experiences, song circles and more. We help those who come into our circle connect with their women/femme/folk Jewish ancestors, as well as the Earth and the Divine Feminine in Jewish tradition.We welcome Jews and allies of all genders, sexualities and races, and all levels of religious knowledge.
We are both ordained by the Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute, which renews and revives the practices of Jewish women and femme folk from Ancient Israel to the present day.
Kohenet Rachel Rose Reid
Rachel's work as a writer, storyteller, ritualist, and Kohenet, is bound together by her love of shaking the dust from old narratives and lost histories, so that we can find new connection and understanding in the present. She is Spiritual Educator for Sadeh, England’s only Jewish environmental and farming community, and an award-winning artist who has worked with Billy Bragg, BBC Radio and the London Symphony Orchestra.
