Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Ordination of Colleagues in Israel
Adopted by the CCAR at the 92nd Annual Convention of
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Jerusalem, Israel June 23-28, 1981
The Central Conference of American Rabbis congratulates Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion on the occasion of granting semichah
to a new class of Israelis at its Jerusalem school. We view the ordination of Zeev
Harari and Gil Nativ as powerful evidence that an indigenous progressive Judaism
has taken root and continues to flourish in Eretz Yisrael.
