Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

Youth in Israel

Adopted by the CCAR at the 100th Annual Convention of
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Cincinnati, Ohio June, 1989

WHEREAS programs which provide for a summer, a semester, and/or a year in Israel can be of enormous benefit to our young people and help them gain a greater understanding of our movement and of its concerns,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Central Conference of American Rabbis strongly support the call of the Youth Division, UAHC, for Reform rabbis and congregations to increase dramatically the number of students participating in UAHC programs in Israel, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we call for greater cooperation with local federations in establishing scholarship support for denominationally based youth tour programs.
