As such it is more useful to a lay-gabbai, or someone with less rabbinic training. <br />-a Conservative RabbiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-71872599074277531342011-12-27T21:05:16.698-05:002011-12-27T21:05:16.698-05:00There is criticism aimed at the center-to-right pa...There is criticism aimed at the center-to-right part of Orthodox judaisim that say their rabbis should not sit on any "board of rabbis" or other similar religious body with non-orthodox jews. Yet it seems that the same movement that criticizes this decision by the orthodox as anti-achdus (surely there is a better term that just doesn't come to mind right now....) finds it necessary to publush their own luach. Why is that?<br /><br />You say "There are several Orthodox versions of a luach" so why does the USCJ need to put out their own version? Really, what are the differences? Why is the Orthodox version not good enough, especially when so many exist and are widely used? L'havdil, did you know that the Rama was working on his own version of a "shulchan aruch" when the one already compiled by R' Yosef Karo became available? What did he do? He decided to take a step toward achdus, so that the entire Jewish world would have just one shulchan aruch, and he made his version into a "mapa" on the mechaber's version.Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
