The president of the New York Board of Rabbis plans to form a national umbrella organization involving rabbis from Judaism’s four religious streams. Rabbi Marc Schneier, who is slated to announce the initiative when he is formally installed as the board’s president Monday, says he plans to invite rabbis from some 25 to 30 American cities to discuss the plan in May. The umbrella group would give a platform to interdenominational rabbinic voices so that “our message of cooperation will be clearer and more emphatic than ever,” Schneier said.
