Presidents Message

Conservative Judaism's 1955 re-launch as a quarterly journal emerged from an urgent need to systematically articulate the movement's core principles amid growing theological diversity. In his presidential message, Harry Holpern envisions the publication as more than a scholarly repository or professional newsletter - rather as a dynamic forum for theological and philosophical exposition. Through reflective editorial analysis, Holpern positions the journal to address the movement's internal heterogeneity of perspectives, viewing this diversity as both an intellectual challenge and an opportunity for growth. The methodology emphasizes collaborative written discourse among rabbinical colleagues to foster mutual understanding and scholarly engagement. Regular publication of theological, philosophical, and historical articles serves dual purposes: developing a cohesive Conservative Jewish philosophy while tackling contemporary Jewish concerns. This approach strengthens rabbinical scholarship and elevates the movement's dignity through sustained intellectual discourse and practical application of Torah study.
