Bio
Alan Kitey
Rabbi Fred Greene is one of the best people I know. I have had the pleasure of knowing him both professionally and personally and can attest to the fact that he will be an asset to any community he joins and will be sorely missed here in Atlanta. As a URJ professional and member of the Atlanta community, I have seen Rabbi Greene do his magic. He is comfortable working with youth as well as sitting down and listening intently to a story being told by seniors in our community. He is always present and has a seat at the table working, not only in the organized Jewish and Interfaith communities, but also and more importantly, he is a change agent for so many other aspects of life in greater Atlanta community. He is as comfortable in front of a sanctuary full of congregants as he is with children of all ages at camp or in a classroom full of eager minds. Fred not only leads his community in prayer in an inspired manner, but in song as well. He is the very definition of a rabbi and any congregation and community would be lucky to have him as a part of their community.

Fred has been the Chair of our Clergy Advisory Board at Camp Coleman for the past year. He has developed strong and trusting relationships with a wide range of people including other Rabbis, year-round professional staff, volunteers, summer staff. Because of these strong relationships, Fred is able to lead effectively...he has a few clear goals and a vision. Powerfully committed to these goals, Fred is able to get things done.
