The Women’s League for Conservative Judaism has sharply condemned the policies of rabbi Meir Kahane and called for a congregational boycott of his appearances at synagogues or other Jewish community institutions.

A resolution adopted at the recent convention of the 200,000-member League stated that “Racism of any sort must be opposed by Jews everywhere as being antithetical to the teachings of Judaism. We call upon the institutions of Conservative Judaism and others to speak out against the policies of Meir Kahane and other anti-democratic forces in Israel and vigorously oppose any synagogue or organizational platform to those (like Kahane) who espouse such destructive methods and goals.”
