The CJLS is sponsoring the International Day of Halakhic Study, a day on which Conservative/Masorti congregations, communities, and schools will come together to study a specific teshuvah of the CJLS. During the Jewish year of 5779 (2018-2019), the recommended day for the International Day of Halakhic Study is Sunday June 2, 2019.
The purpose of the International Day of Halakhic Study is to show how our spiritual values and ethical ideas shape our hakahic practice, to emphasize the importance of halakhah and the study of halakhah among Conservative/Masorti Jews, and to create a sense of a world-wide community among Conservative/Masorti congregations and schools.
We ask the members of the RA to participate in this survey to determine which teshuvah will be the topic of this year’s International Day of Halakhic Study. You may review each teshuvah before making your selection:
- Elie Spitz, Mamzerut
- Avram Reisner, Wired to Hakadosh Barukh Hu: Minyan Via Internet
- Elliot Dorff, Donations from Ill-Gotten Gains
- Pamela Barmash, The Status of the Heresh and Sign Language
If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Barmash or Ashira Konigsburg.
