know Detroit with behind-the-scene
tours of the Compuware, Chase and
M@dison Buildings, a meet-and-greet

will mingle and enjoy refreshments
on the M@dison rooftop before
heading to the auditorium to hear
from five up-and-coming young
Jewish leaders in Detroit: Jacob
Cohen, vice president at Detroit
Venture Partners, a seed and early
stage venture capital fund formed by

peanut-free foods that taste fantastic

Conservative Rabbis Set
Gay Wedding Guidelines
(JTA) — The Rabbinical Assembly's
Committee on Jewish Law and
Standards — which sets halachic
policy for the Conservative movement
— has voted to provide guidelines on
performing same-sex marriages.
The move is an
official sanction of
the ceremonies by
the movement.
The CJLS approved
the documents May
31 by a 13-0 vote
with one abstaining
ballot. For years, the
Rabbi Daniel
Conservative move-
Nevins
ment has debated
how to approach
same-sex unions. Traditionalists often
opposed such relationships while
urging respect as progressives — par-
ticularly some rabbinical students —
pushed for full equality.

In 2006, the CJLS officially sanc-
tioned gay relationships. At the time, it
stressed that rabbis were not obligated
to perform such ceremonies, but could
do so and not be violating RA stan-
dards.
Rabbis Daniel Nevins (for-
merly of Adat Shalom Synagogue in
Farmington Hills), Avram Reisner
and Elliot Dorff created the new ritual
guidelines. They offer two types of gay
weddings, as well as gay divorce.
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, who
heads the LGBT Congregation Beit
Simchat Torah in New York, told JTA
that these new guidelines represent
a major step forward in Conservative
Judaism's sensitivity toward the LGBT
community
"We can't be held hostage to the
radical right wing of the Jewish world,"
said Kleinbaum, who was ordained
by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical
College. "The Conservative movement
is rejecting religion based on bigotry."
