Aquest #santjordi2025🌹🐉📚 des de l'equip de la #CCAR us compartim algunes recomanacions literàries per aquests dies!
El grup d'Empresa i DH de @lafede.cat, on la #CCAR en forma part, ha registrat al Parlament la Proposta de Llei per crear el Centre Català d’Empreses i #DH, una iniciativa pionera en la defensa dels #DH i el medi ambient.

Sharing this letter I sent to the ethics folks at the #CCAR (the body that credentials rabbis in the #Reform movement of #Judaism
---------------------------
To whom it may concern:
cc: #RabbiCaryKozberg, Temple Sholom, Springfield, OH
I am writing to inquire if I can file a complaint against Rabbi Cary Kozberg for the racist remarks he made to the JTA, which were reported by them in this story:
Please take a moment and read the story and read what Rabbi Kozberg said. It is appalling and shameful, absolutely contrary to Jewish values that teach us to love the ger (stranger) in our midst.
I will admit that in reviewing the CCAR's ethics code (online at https://www.ccarnet.org/about-us/ccar-ethics/ccar-ethics-code/ ), it does not appear that Rabbi Kozberg violated those policies, but surely in this day and age it would be a serious ethical violation for a rabbi to besmirch an entire immigrant community in the way that he has. If hate speech by rabbis is not an ethical violation, then the CCAR needs to revise its ethics code to make it a violation.
I am a proud member of both a Reform synagogue and a humanistic havurah. Part of the reason I'm part of my reform temple is the movement's strong emphasis on social justice and its commitment to fighting racism. This is very personal to me, and I know many others who feel the same way.
In anger and sadness,
James

Good but overdue news from the #CCAR
#Mazeldon @mazeldon@a.gup.me #TheForward
#CCAR, the organization of #Reformrabbis, continues -
We encounter God’s presence in moments of awe and wonder, in acts of justice and compassion, in loving relationships and in the experiences of everyday life.
We respond to #God daily: through public and private prayer, through study and through the performance of other (mitzvot), sacred obligations — (bein adam la Makom) to God, and (bein adam la-chaveiro) to other human beings.
In 1999 #CCAR reaffirmed -
We affirm the reality and oneness of God, even as we may differ in our understanding of the Divine presence.
We affirm that the Jewish people is bound to God by an eternal (b’rit) covenant, as reflected in our varied understandings of Creation, Revelation and Redemption.
We affirm that every human being is created (b’tzelem Elohim) in the image of God, and that therefore every human life is sacred
Belief in #God is the foundation of Judaism - this is from #CCAR, the official body of #Reformrabbis
The heart of Judaism and its chief contribution to religion is the doctrine of the One, living God, who rules the world through law and love. In Him all existence has its creative source and mankind its ideal of conduct. Though transcending time and space, He is the indwelling Presence of the world. We worship Him as the Lord of the universe and as our merciful Father.
A great #shiur on #spirituality from the Reform movement. Johanna Hershenson comments on
Now Bezalel, son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, had made ALL that the Eternal had commanded Moses. (Exodus 38)
and on - Just as the Eternal had commanded Moses, so the Israelites had done ALL the work. And when Moses saw that they had performed ALL the tasks – as God had commanded, so they had done – Moses blessed them. (Exodus 39)

Have you used "Gates of Shabbat: Shaarei Shabbat" from #CCAR and the #ReformJewish movement?
It is Reform Judaism's classic how-to guide about Shabbat observance and practices.
This book is about Shabbat -- the Jewish treasure that comes around every seven days. In the midst of our freedom, Shabbat offers roots and inspiration along with joy and hope.

Came across this digest of past resolutions by the #CCAR on the topic of #ConscientiousObjection
Which makes me think it would be good to gather similar statements from the other #Jewish movements, because world events make it clear that the danger of a future #draft (aka #MilitaryConscription ) is increasingly possible. --- Our Jewish young adults will need these resources, so now is the time to start gathering them.
