Before joining Prospect Heights Shul, Rabbi Jonathan Leener co-founded Base BKLYN in 2015, where he served as rabbi until 2022. There, he helped cultivate a vibrant, welcoming space for young Jewish professionals to explore Jewish life, learning, and community.
He has served as a rabbinic intern at Sherith Israel Congregation in Nashville, Tennessee, and Beth Sholom Congregation in Potomac, Maryland.
When he's not leading services or teaching Torah, you might find Rabbi Leener cheering for his beloved Brooklyn Nets or singing along to his favorite Beatles tracks.
He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Faith Leener, and their three children: Yehuda, Hannah, and Tikvah.
