Whereas Jews converted by the Bet Din of the Masorti Movement in Buenos Aires suffer discrimination by the authorities of the Asociacion Mutual Argentina – AMIA; and
Whereas there is no member of the Rabbinical Assembly represented in the AMIA, despite its claim to be the umbrella institution for Argentinean Jewry, and in spite of its support by Masorti synagogues.
Therefore be it resolved that the Rabbinical Assembly urge the AMIA to change its policy to reflect pluralism in accordance with the spirit of its founders - to serve the entire Jewish community; and
Therefore be it further resolved that the Rabbinical Assembly urge all colleagues who visit meet with Jewish community officials at AMIA to reinforce the issue of religious pluralism with AMIA.
(Resolution presented from the floor, submitted before Convention with the requisite number of signatures.)
Passed by the Rabbinical Assembly Plenum, April, 2003
