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

Oh, Reform Judaism has a recording on their website. This is the tune I’ve heard before (in reform services):

So, American Reform gives and has a committee, but I can’t find out how that committee is decided/elected. Can anyone tell me? Thanks!

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 decisions in Conservative Judaism selected (elected?). How does this fit with the history of rabbinic ?

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 of the 58th (20th-21st) century, while Yosef's is that of six centuries earlier.

This is only the latest reminder that the Israeli is a divisive, hateful, element that should have been dismantled long ago.
