Please join me at the Academy for Jewish Religion, 6301 Riverdale Avenue, Riverdale, NY
on Sunday, March 11 from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Event: "Patrilineal Descent in a Pluralistic Community" — a conference.
The following is the title and outline of the paper I will present:
A PROPOSAL FOR PURIFYING ALL JEWS
(AND INCIDENTALLY, IF THERE HAPPEN TO BE ANY
PATRILINEALS, WE WILL INCLUDE THEM AS A MATTER OF COURSE)
PRINCIPLES
1. Pluralistic reciprocity.
2. The irrevocability, past a reasonable point, of change of status to Jewish identity.
3. The presumption of legitimacy of those conforming to Jewish practice.
4. The coincidence of the requirements for conversion with the requirements for living a Jewish life.
5. Jewish sub-groups with different outlooks on matters concerning both of them should find ways of acting that does not violate the principles or self-understanding of either.
