The Torah of Conservative Judaism

The Torah of Conservative Judaism

Part of ScholarStream, a partnership of the Conservative Movement

Tuesday, December 21, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET 
Online

From its inception, Conservative Judaism has stood for a particular way of approaching, studying, and even defining Torah. The energizing encounter between the academic and the religiously committed has characterized The Jewish Theological Seminary, the Conservative Movement’s flagship institution, since its founding. In this session, we will consider the notable contributions to this special culture of Torah made by some of the significant figures in the history of JTS and our Movement. 

With Rabbi Gordon Tucker, Vice Chancellor for Religious Life and Engagement, JTS 

This session is the third in a series of three lectures on The Roots of Conservative Judaism: Understanding how Conservative Judaism developed helps us form our own theology and practice. As a movement guided by Torah and modern interpretation, we embrace diversity as we gather in holy community. 

Individuals can sign up at a cost of $25 for the series, or for free with a code from a sponsoring congregation. 

ABOUT SCHOLARSTREAM
