LYDIA KUKOFF is a writer and Jewish educator and the author of Choosing Judaism, Introduction to Judaism: A Source Book, and Every Person’s Guide to Judaism, the last co-authored with Stephen J. Einstein.

Kukoff received the Weinberg-Chaff Award of the Los Angeles Jewish community and served as the first director of the UAHC-CCAR Task Force on Reform Jewish Outreach, the body that coordinated the Reform movement’s programs for interfaith families and Jews by choice.

Her work centers on Reform Jewish outreach and conversion, and Introduction to Judaism: A Source Book became a standard teaching tool for introductory Judaism classes in Reform synagogues across North America.

Lydia Kukoff’s books are published by Jewish Lights, an imprint of Turner Publishing.
