Emet Ve-Emunah: Statement of Principles of Conservative Judaism

Plot

What makes this first collective "statement of principles" ever issued by the Conservative Movement so admirable and intriguing is the tension that lies beneath the surface. Its sparse, dispassionate, and unequivocal prose gives only the fainstest inkling of the wide-ranging differences in which the idea for a balanced commission on the philosphy of Conservative Judasim was born some three years ago. The final prodcuat reaffirms not only the will to preserve the unity of the movement but also the genuine consensus which prevails in its ranks.
