Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Affiliates of Reform Judaism
Adopted by the CCAR at the 86th Annual Convention of
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
1975
WHEREAS the Reform Jewish community is made up of many institutions which, working
in common, interpret Judaism with insight and commitment, and
WHEREAS the Central Conference of American Rabbis is vitally concerned with the direction
of Reform Judaism throughout the world,
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that as we meet together we are cognizant and appreciative
of the contributions to Jewish life carried out by the many institutions of our Reform
Jewish community. The assistance we receive from the affiliates of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods and the National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods lends
strength to Judaism today. The programs of the National Federation of Temple Youth
continue to be outstanding. We are increasingly made aware of the expertise that
comes to the American synagogue by the members of our other professional groups, the American
Conference of Cantors, the National Association of Temple Administrators and the
National Association of Temple Educators. The rabbinate works with members of these
groups daily and we appreciate their contributions to Jewish life. We pledge to continue
to work harmoniously with the cantors, administrators and educators with whom we
share Ahavat Yisrael, Ahavat Torah, Ahavat Olami,
a love for Israel, a love for Torah and a love for the world.
