Study Documents
Cooperation
The New York Board of Rabbis has
released a collection of hundreds of
recent examples of rabbinic interde-
nominational cooperation from across
the country.
The examples of cooperation range
from some that seem ground- break-
ing to others that don't involve- sub-
stantive interdenominational cooper
tion at all, as when rabbis offer their
own views of the pluralism debate in
panel discussions or when congrega-
tions around the country, connected
with all of the movements, separately
host a crash course in Hebrew offered
by the National Jewish Outreach Pro-
gram.
Many of the examples came in
two arenas where joint interdenom 1-
national work has long been prac-
ticed: chaplaincy and adult Jewish
education.
Rabbi Mark Schneier, president
of the New York Board of Rabbis,
came up with the idea for the study
because these days, "people only
hear about the divisiveness and the
conflict" within the Jewish comm
nity.
"I'm trying to give a more balance •
view of the state of the Jewish union.
There's a calling out there for the Jew-
ish and rabbinic community to find
ways to unite, and there's a very
strong foundation of rabbis out there
making a concerted effort to find
ways to cooperate and find areas of-
common cause."
The $10,000 cost of the study
was underwritten by philanthropists
Charles Bronfman, Michael Jessel-
son and Michael Steinhardt as part
of their joint $50,000 gift to
Schneier's new effort to put togethe
a nationwide association of boards
of rabbis.
But Rabbi Irving Greenberg, a
longtime analyst of Jewish religious
and communal life who predicted in
1985 that religious extremism woul
polarize the Jewish people into virtu
ally two religions, the big picture is
that there's less cooperation and co
munal activity and willingness to d
things together than there ever has
been."
"No one should fool themselve
into thinking that the big picture
truly a good one," he said, when
"the atmosphere is one of an almo
total breakdown'? between the diff ,
ent Jewish religious philosophies.
Greenberg compared the exam-
ples cited in the New York board
study to the few thousand righteo
gentiles who risked their own live
to save Jews during the Holocaust.
While we should be grateful for
them, he said, "no one has the illusi
that they stopped the catastrophe
from happening."
