| | Rabbi Ismar Schorsch to Retire in 2006 (phillyBurbs.com) National |
| | Schorsch took over leadership of the seminary a year after the movement ordained its first female rabbi, and dealt for years with the delicate issue of the role of women as religious leaders. | | | "The long-term question is whether the center can hold, and that is the mission of the Conservative movement, to make sure that the center does not collapse," Schorsch told the Times. | | | Schorsch presided over a period of expansion at the seminary, which was founded in 1886 and educates most of the Conservative movement's rabbis and cantors. |

| | What strikes me in that first quote is Schorsch's acceptance of a left-right spectrum as a valid way of measuring both political and religious ideology. | | | "For the Conservative movement, the issue is whether one can be politically liberal and religiously conservative," Schorsch, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, said in a mid-May interview with JTA. | | | I wonder what you think, about the articles, Rabbi Schorsch, and the past 18 years of Conservative Judaism, after reading both articles. |
