President's Forum - What Does Reform Judaism Stand For?

The Office of Alumni Engagement periodically offers President’s Alumni Forums. These conference calls, which alumni can join online and by phone, allow our alumni to discuss key issues with the President.

In 2008, we held a special forum: What Does Reform Judaism Stand For? More than 200 alumni joined us as our Rosh Yeshivah, Rabbi David Ellenson, answered alumni questions and reflected on issues raised in "What Does Reform Judaism Stand For?" by Jack Wertheimer in Commentary Magazine, June 2008.
