I’m enjoying this collection of essays on contemporary Reform Judaism.
Aha, #ReformJudaism’s common melodies for the Erev Shabbat blessings:

Would love to hear what other melodies there are from other branches of #Judaism (and within branches).

Oh, Reform Judaism has a recording on their website. This is the tune I’ve heard before (in reform services):
#reformjudaism #blessing #challah
So, American Reform #Judaism gives #Responsa and has a committee, but I can’t find out how that committee is decided/elected. Can anyone tell me? Thanks!
#judaism #responsa #mazeldon #reformjudaism #jewdiverse #halacha
This was quite interesting.
I’m too tired to look it all up now but I have two basic questions. Maybe someone can help me?:
1. Who decides/how are the rabbis who make #Halacha decisions in Conservative Judaism selected (elected?). How does this fit with the history of rabbinic #Judaism?
2. Reform Judaism’s Responsa are similarly given by a selected/elected body? What’s the process?

Reform Jews, is there some online source (or even an app) where I can hear the most commonly used melodies in chanting prayers and blessings?
I realise normally this would be learnt at your local shul but mine is closed to me until after my conversion. Thank you!

It's true in one sense at least: ours is the #Judaism of the 58th (20th-21st) century, while Yosef's is that of six centuries earlier.
This is only the latest reminder that the Israeli #Rabbinate is a divisive, hateful, #extremist element that should have been dismantled long ago.

#introduction
Retired lawyer. Most of my career was as a manager of lawyers dealing with bank failures for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. I have left that behind except for friendships with a diverse, talented group across the U.S.
My wife & I are 40+ year members of our #ReformJudaism congregation where I am involved in leadership
Avid #Mets fan. #LGM. My favorite season is baseball season.
Journalism & political science were my focus as a undergrad. They still interest me.

By way of #introduction, I'm Ike. I have a background in #design and the #militaryindustrialcomplex and then I became a #lawyer. Now I'm an executive in a public company.
I was raised within #ReformJudaism and I'm still there. I was raised near #Boston but I'm not there anymore. I've lived in The #Netherlands and #China. Now I'm in #California.
I love #StarTrek and #StarWars and #pathfinder2e. I'm a #liberalzionist but far more concerned about #antisemitism than #Israel.

intros for the great migration: my name is lindsay (with an A and yes, it matters) & I am primarily an #artist. I grew up in religious fundamentalism and dealt with eating disorder for 15 years, so #selfcompassion & #traumainformed care are important. I also spent two years in divinity school, during which I converted to #ReformJudaism. currently, being in #recovery allows me to sing and paint and write and it’s AMAZING. follow for #creativity, mental health, and joy.
