Meet Our Team
Rabbi Eve Rudin, Director of Education, Youth and Families
Prior to joining the Larchmont Temple team, Rabbi Eve Rudin served as the Director of the Congregational School at Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City, the Director of Camp Excellence and Advancement at the Foundation for Jewish Camp, and served as the Director of NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth) and the URJ Kutz Camp for Reform Jewish teens for the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism). A product of the Reform Jewish movement, Eve graduated with a BA in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies from Brandeis University and was awarded a Wexner Graduate Fellowship during her rabbinic studies at HUC-JIR where she was ordained in May 2000.
Her undergraduate and graduate thesis work focused upon youth movements and camping, and she has spoken and presented at numerous conferences on experiential Jewish education, camping, faith development and youth mentorship.
Rabbi Rudin is married to Rabbi Elliott Kleinman and, together, they have three children: Emma, Avi and Shira.

Yael Greene, Youth Engagement and KESHER Program Coordinator
Yael Greene received her Bachelors of Arts degree in Religious Studies at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, where she was awarded the John Henry Newman Award for Excellence in Religious Studies and the Ignatian Scholarship Award in Religious Leadership. She committed toward interfaith programming with her peers and with the University of Denver Hillel as their Music Intern. Her deep connection to Jewish life stems from her involvement in the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), URJ Camp Coleman, URJ Kutz Camp, and her semester abroad program at the University of Haifa International School in Israel. She will be continuing her camp engagement as the Songleader at URJ 6 Points Sports Academy over the summer.
Yael's involvement and passion through camp and NFTY inspired her to work with our Jewish youth to become the next leaders within the Reform movement. She can be reached by calling the Temple office or through her email at ygreene@larchmonttemple.org
