No part of the text may be reproduced in any form, nor may any page be photographed and reproduced, without written permission of the publisher. Manufactured in the United States of America Designed by G&H SOHO, Inc. CONTENTS Preface . vii Subject Index . 1 Author Index . 193 Book Reviews . 303 v PREFACE The goal of this cumulative index is two-fold. It is to serve as an historical reference to the conventions of the Rabbinical Assembly and to the statements, thoughts, and dreams of the leaders of the Conser- vative movement. It is also to provide newer members of the Rabbinical Assembly, and all readers, with insights into questions, problems, and situations today that are often reminiscent of or have a basis in the past. The entries are arranged chronologically within each author’s listing. The authors are arranged alphabetically. I’ve tried to incorporate as many individuals who spoke on a subject as possible, as well as included prefaces, content notes, and appendices. Indices generally do not contain page references to these entries, and I readily admit that it isn’t the professional form. However, because these indices are cumulative, I felt that they were, in a sense, an historical set of records of the growth of the Conservative movement through the twentieth century, and that pro- fessional indexers will forgive these lapses.

    Orthodox Objection to the Lieberman Clause Presented to the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Completion of the Program Stern College for Women Yeshiva University May 6, 2020 Atara Kelman Mentor: Rabbi Ezra Schwartz Acknowledgements נשמת כל חי תברך את שמך ה׳ אלוקינו בכל עת צרה וצוקה אין לנו מלך אלא אתה As I work on this project during the COVID-19 pandemic, I recognize that the stability that I have felt my whole life is a mirage, and that our vulnerability is ever present. At the same time, I understand that I am fortunate and blessed with good health, a caring family, and emotional and economic security. These feelings are more prominent during this time of crises, but have been the hallmark of my life. At the culmination of the Honors Program, I am appreciative for opportunities the Honors Program has provided for me, with both intensive academic classes and cultural opportunities. Stern College served as my base for two years of learning and growing, and for that I am grateful. Rabbi Ezra Schwartz served as my mentor for this project, after teaching me for the majority of my time in Stern College. I am indebted to him for his suggestions, references, and commitment to helping me learn. A large portion of my research was stimulated by conversations with Rabbi Saul Berman, whose insight and integrity is inspiring. Most of all, this would not have been possible without the help of my family. My interest in such a topic certainly grew from conversations at home, and my family serves as the best editorial board.
