This volume is a revised compilation of responsa issued by CCAR from 1892 to 1982, grouped by subject for clarity and easy access. An appendix includes the report of the Committee on Patrilineal Descent on the Status of Children of Mixed Marriages.
With a blend of the old and new, traditional and modern Reform principles, Rabbis Plaut and Washofsky elucidate issues of the history and practice of Reform Jews. Topics range from synagogue matters to personal life; from guns on temple property to genome research; from private ordinations to apostasy. Topics also include the role of a humanistic congregation in the Reform Movement and the participation of Gentiles in Jewish worship. This is the latest volume in the vast collection of Reform Responsa from the CCAR.
