  • 1000 Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees

    1000 Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees December 2, 2015 We, Rabbis from across the country, call on our elected officials to exercise moral leadership for the protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Since its founding, the United States has offered refuge and protection to the world’s most vulnerable. Time and time again, those refugees were Jews. Whether they were fleeing pogroms in Tzarist Russia, the horrors of the Holocaust or persecution in Soviet Russia or Iran, our relatives and friends found safety on these shores. We are therefore alarmed to see so many politicians declaring their opposition to welcoming refugees. Last month’s heartbreaking attacks in Paris and Beirut are being cited as reasons to deny entry to people who are themselves victims of terror. And in those comments, we, as Jewish leaders, see one of the darker moments of our history repeating itself. In 1939, the United States refused to let the S.S. St. Louis dock in our country, sending over 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe, where many died in concentration camps. That moment was a stain on the history of our country – a tragic decision made in a political climate of deep fear, suspicion and antisemitism. The Washington Post released public opinion polling from the early 1940’s, showing that the majority of U.S. citizens did not want to welcome Jewish refugees to this country in those years. In 1939, our country could not tell the difference between an actual enemy and the victims of an enemy. In 2015, let us not make the same mistake.

  • 340 Rabbis Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal with Iran

    340 Rabbis Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal with Iran Call for International Partners to Strengthen Efforts to Confront Iranian Support for Terrorism and other Threats For Immediate Release New York, NY, August 17, 2015 For More Information, or to Connect with the Rabbis Organizing this Campaign, Please Contact: Gideon Aronoff; 212 366­1194; [email protected] ​ Today, 340 rabbis from all streams of Judaism sent a letter to all Members of Congress urging ​ ​ that they support the agreement between the international community and Iran on the Iranian nuclear program. “We commend the U.S. and the other negotiating teams for their dedication to reaching an agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. This deal is good for the United States and our allies in the region, and is the best arrangement possible given current international realities,” declared Rabbi Steven Bob of Glen Ellyn, IL. Rabbi Rachel Mikva of Chicago added, “A wide array of views about the nuclear deal exist among American Jews, as demonstrated in the recent Jewish Journal poll that showed 49% approving of the agreement (31% opposed) and 53% wanting Congress to approve it (35% opposed). However many Jewish Federations, AIPAC and other leading national Jewish organizations are campaigning in opposition, which is being interpreted to mean that American Jews want to see the deal scrapped. This is a false and dangerous message that we as rabbis hope to counter with our letter to Congress.” “If Congress ultimately rejects the deal, the consequences for the United States, Israel, the Jewish community and the world will be significant.

    AJR 2020 Program F.Indd

    Transforming the Jewish World Rabbinic Ordination and Chaplaincy & Master of Jewish Studies Graduation MAY 25, 2020 2 SIVAN 5780 Jewish Leadership The Academy for Jewish Religion California (AJRCA) is a transdenominational learning community educating rabbis, cantors, chaplains, and community leaders who will transform Jewish communities into places of wholeness and well- being. We combine immersion in text and tradition with openness to the wisdom of many streams of Jewish thought and practice, giving students both the knowledge and the tools to develop their own personal integration of Judaism. Flexible scheduling, including distance learning, makes it possible for students to engage in advanced study at their own pace. All our programs offer graduate degrees accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Above all, AJRCA recognizes each student’s unique attributes, consciously nurturing and developing their personal skills and natural gifts in order that they may reach their greatest potential. At this Ordination and Graduation ceremony, you will have a taste of the wonderful outcomes that we at the Academy experience in our lives. The Rabbinical School Our ancient Jewish texts yield deep and precious wisdom, so Tanakh, Talmud, liturgy, mysticism, philosophy, and history are the substance of rabbinical studies. We aim for a spiritually-based approach that enables our graduates to convey the holiness of daily life, and depth of meaning in study and practice. Our rabbinical candidates also acquire specific professional and clinical pastoral skills that equip them to help those in need. The Cantorial School Cantorial study involves immersion in our Jewish musical tradition as well as competence in a variety of musical expressions drawn from the contemporary world’s Jewish music.
