Rabbi Kevin Lefkowitz joined Tiferet Bet Israel in 2024. He received his ordination from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and MA in Education from American Jewish University, where he wrote his capstone, “Mishpaḥat Israel: Lifelong Jewish Learning. His rabbinic mission is to teach Torah in ways that foster recognition of the God-given dignity of every human being.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Rabbi Lefkowitz served as rabbi of Adat Shalom and rabbinic intern at Sinai Temple, both in Los Angeles, California. It was in California where he learned the importance of embracing each community's unique characteristics. More importantly, it was where he met the love of his life, Rabbi Melissa Lefkowitz. 

Rabbis Lefkowitz raise their daughter, Rena, with a dual loyalty to the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox. He hopes this immediate point of tension will not deter you from working with him on our shared mission to strengthen our community through relational Judaism.
