Attending the CCAR Annual Conference
“The CCAR was founded in 1889. Its members are the body of rabbis who consider themselves and are considered to be the organized rabbinate of Reform Judaism.
The CCAR enriches and strengthens the Jewish community by empowering Reform Rabbis to provide religious, spiritual and organizational leadership as it:
• Fosters excellence in Reform Rabbis
• Enhances Reform Rabbis’ professional and personal lives
• Amplifies the voice of the Reform Rabbinate in the Reform Movement, the Jewish community and the world in which we live.
Its members consist of Reform Rabbis ordained at the HUC-JIR Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, as well as Reform Rabbis ordained at liberal seminaries in Europe, and some rabbis who joined the Reform movement sometime subsequent to ordination.”
Rabbi Alan Greenbaum, Rabbi Ted Riter and I were all ordained by the HUC-JIR , Hebrew Union College, Jewish Institute of Religion and are members of the CCAR.
