Progressive Judaism in Israel

Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

PROGRESSIVE JUDAISM IN ISRAEL

Digests of resolutions adopted by the Central Conference of American Rabbis between 1889 and 1974

1. The Central Conference of American Rabbis believes that an urgent need exists in the State of Israel for the development of progressive forms of Judaism. We recognize that such forms will be responsive to the needs and desires of the people of Israel. We urge the initiation of discussions between appropriate representatives of Reform and Conservative Judaism for the purpose of stimulating and encouraging the development of progressive Judaism in Israel. We commend this undertaking to the CCAR representatives on the board of the American section of the World Union for Progressive Judaism. (1958, p. 142)
