Listen to the voices!

Here we are opening the 120 CCAR conference! Welcome with a brass band, carnival style, that led us from hotel to Beit Shimshon dancing in the streets. Over 300 Reform Rabbis dancing in the streets an changing the demographics of Jerusalem. It is time to listen to the voices of the Reform Jews and community that we represent and that we are the builders and leaders for Reform Judaism in our world. Here we stand at the spot where snipers used to take aim but now is the most treasured piece of land - a place where change continues and a commitment to the continued growth of the Jewish people lives.

Be happy, it is Adar! And we, the Reform Rabbis are very happy to be here in Yerushalyim and together.
