Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the collected proceedings of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) from their 1918-1919 convention. This organization was founded in 1889 by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise and was the first national rabbinical organization in the United States. The CCAR played a major role in the development of Reform Judaism in America, and its annual conventions were a forum for discussion of important issues facing the Jewish community. The convention proceedings include reports from various committees, including those on religious education, social justice, and liturgy. They also include papers on topics such as the mission of Israel, the Jewish conception of justice, and the role of the synagogue in the post-war world. These proceedings provide valuable insights into the history of Reform Judaism in America and the challenges facing the Jewish community in the early 20th century. They are a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of American religion.
