Kehila or Kehilah (He: קהילה) is a community of the Jewish religion, catering all the Judaism services, and positions.

Traditionally, the materialistic issues of the Kehila are led by board members that are elected to their position every four years. They have also the proposal rights of electing a Rabbi who is in charge of all the ritual and halachic matters. The rabbi is traditionally elected for live time.
