Yosef Kleiner Biography

Yosef Kleiner is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on December 20, 1963 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was born in Buenos Aires, and is the third child of Enrique Samuel Kleiner (1929-1905) and Clara Rosenthal (31-2013). His parents, second generation Argentineans, were born to immigrants from Eastern Europe and arrived in Argentina at 20th century’s beginning. His family was a secular Jew with strong Jewish cultural and identity values. He was exposed to extensive Jewish literature in Spanish, which opened up the doors to Jewish tradition and its meaning.

He studied at the Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano Yosef and graduated in 1989 as a Licentiate in Psychology. He emigrated to Israel in 1989 and continued his professional practice, focusing on psychological counseling and support. He worked at the Mental Health Center, Abarbanel Psychiatric Hospital and the Psychiatric Department at the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem.

After having received his rabbinical ordination, Yosef Kleiner became the Rabbi of the Sephardic Congregation in Chile (Comunidad Israelita Sefaradí de Chile) in 1994. During his years in Chile he played an active role in the Institute for Sephardic Studies that was sponsored by his Congregation and represented, as well, the local Jewish community in the Latin American Conference on Poverty held in 1996 by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. He also wrote a monthly column in the magazine “El Vocero” called “Tomando kavé con el rabino” (Let’s have a kave [coffe] with the Rabbi).

In 1998 Yosef and his family settled in Israel where he became the rabbi of the “Adat Shalom Emanuel” congregation in Rehovot, succeeding rabbi Shmuel Avidor Hacohen, task he held until 2008. While carrying out his tasks as educator and spiritual leader in Rehovot, Yosef also taught Bible, Jewish history and Jewish Thought in the Nativ course for soldiers, within the framework of the Institute of Jewish Studies of the Jewish Agency. During 1999 he taught rabbinical students a course on practical rabbinics at the Schechter Institute and, between 2000 and 2002, he was a member of the Committee on Halakha (Jewish law) of the Israel Rabbinical Assembly of the Masorti/Conservative Movement. All along these years, and until his moving to France in 2012, he delivered several lectures and learning series in many Jewish congregations in Israel and abroad. He taught, among others, at the Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, Temple Hillel of North Woodmere, the Judiska Församlingen of Stockholm and the Comunidad Bet El of Madrid.

He was awarded the “Rabbi Theodore Friedman”, an award for outstanding students of the Rabbinical School of the Seminario in 1988. He was appointed synagogue director of the Jewish Congregation of Bahia Blanca in 1990 (Asociacion Israelita de Bahia Blanca). This position he held until 1992, when he moved to Israel to complete his formal rabbinical training at the Schechter Institute.

In 2012, after four years of interruption as congregational rabbi, Yosef took the rabbinical position at the Union Libérale Israélite de France in Paris, when that congregation was seeking to try a more traditional self-definition. During his two years stay in France he developed a prolific work as spiritual leader and Jewish educator. Still, the ideological divergences between the congregation lay leaders and Rabbi Kleiner proved to be deeper than what they had thought at the beginning. In spite of a thorough work done by both parts trying to overcome their dissimilarities, they arrived to the conclusion that the basic differences were too deep.
