This was quite interesting.

I’m too tired to look it all up now but I have two basic questions. Maybe someone can help me?:

1. Who decides/how are the rabbis who make #Halacha decisions in Conservative Judaism selected (elected?). How does this fit with the history of rabbinic #Judaism?

2. Reform Judaism’s Responsa are similarly given by a selected/elected body? What’s the process?

#Hanukkah in a bunker in #Ukraine. Midreshet Schechter (#ConservativeJudaism in #Israel) sent hundreds of Hanukkah care packages. Here a recipient celebrates the holiday of light banishing darkness during wartime.

Did you know - on several occasions rabbis in Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism worked to heal rifts in our community. If more people know about these enterprises it could inspire our own generation to help restore #Jewishunity

Where do we see Non-Orthodox and Orthodox #rabbis and lay Jewish leaders working together? Where do we see people creating #Achdut (#JewishUnity) today? We're looking for examples and inspirations!

Here we see Jews from #CLAL, from all denominations, at the Katz Center for Jewish Studies at the Univ. of Pennsylvania
