Celebrating One Year of KI/Base BSTN’s Partnership

Earlier this year, we passed the one year mark of our partnership with Base BSTN, KI’s young adult initiative led by Rabbi Elizabeth and Matt Bonney-Cohen. While Base is an international movement, KI’s creative partnership is the first local chapter to be directly affiliated with a synagogue.

But what does this partnership really mean? Below, hear from Rabbi EBC and Matt, the Base Movement’s Co-Founder and Executive Director Faith Leener, Rabbi Hamilton, and Basers themselves for first-hand stories.

And did you know?

Since the beginning of our full-time partnership with Base, they have:

  • hosted 228 programs (in-person and virtual)
  • filled 2,873 seats
  • welcomed 477 unique participants (126 of whom engaged 7+ times) 
  • conducted 319 one-on-one and pastoral conversations
