KBY Congregations Together’s
mission is to increase awareness of and support for progressive
congregations in Israel. KBY congregations represent an approach to
Jewish values and practice that mirrors and makes whole a stream of
Judaism that we accept as consistent with our own modern traditions.

Stand Up for Reform
& Conservative Judaism
in Israel
Please sign this petition to demand the recognition of Rabbi
Miri Gold by the State of Israel. Demand religious pluralism in
Israel. Out of thousands of rabbis recognized by the State of
Israel there is not a single Reform or Conservative Rabbi!

(Israel Religious Action Center)
Whether you are a Reform or Conservative Jew, the recognition of
Rabbi Gold means a breakthrough, a precedent leading to the
recognition of hundreds of rabbis from liberal streams of
Judaism. |

This project is a joint effort by
KBY and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Jerusalem
Campus. The selections for the CD are music sung during Rosh HaShanah
and Yom Kippur services at HUC-JIR in Jerusalem. The innovative use of
the High Holiday Choir, as a collection of soloists backing-up both
the Cantor and each other, gave us the original inspiration. The
feelings, at High Holiday services and when listening to this CD, are
of engaged personal prayer that reaches upward and connects.
Cantorial Program Director Cantor
Eliyahu Schleifer, Choir Director Jay Shir and the voices from the
HUC-JIR High Holiday Choir made this CD spiritual, up-lifting and
simply beautiful. We extend our thanks to Anastasia Sobolev, who
accompanied the singers, and to Cantor Evan Cohen who produced the
project.
This CD will not be offered
for sale; rather it was designed as a "Thank You" to KBY supporters.
We wanted to share a part of the progressive Jewish experience in
Jerusalem with people who care about Israel and support our
congregations.
Jeffrey Macklis, President KBY |
