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?

Where do you see Non-Orthodox and Orthodox Jews collaborating? Heard about #Hazon? They are leading a transformative movement weaving sustainability into the fabric of Jewish life, in order to create a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable world for all.

Orthodox and Non-Orthodox Jews working together - The Shalom Hartman Institute is a #Jerusalem institute for Jewish thought and education, for scholars, rabbis, educators, and community leaders in #Israel and North America. The goal is to strengthen Jewish identity, enhance the Jewish and democratic character of Israel, and ensure that #Judaism is a compelling force for good in the 21st century.

It's always time for #goodnews - examples of Orthodox and Non-Orthodox Jews working together for the common good :-) The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership (#CLAL) is an interdenominational training institute and resource center, in which rabbis from all major Jewish denominations participate.

Ekim writes "wow. Which Jews are saying non-Orthodox Jews shouldn’t learn Hasidut?"

We received hateful speech saying that we are misogynist fundamentalists trying to convert people to ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Judaism. Not only clearly false but also wacky. In reality, neo-Hasidic Judaism is growing in #ReformJudaism and #ConservativeJudaism.

Also (and we shouldn't even have to say this) no one should ever hate Hasidic Jews. If someone doesn't want to be one, then just don't be one.

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

What upsets some Jews on Mastodon is that they don't want us non-Orthodox Jews to learn Chassidus or even be friends with Orthodox Jews. We however feel that friendship and reading is not threatening. Open your hearts to the many non-Orthodox Jews discovering neo-Hasidut. This is mainstream across #ReformJudaism, #JewishRenewal, and #ConservativeJudaism.
