Talk:National Council of Young Israel

Source
My source for this info is the history page on the website of the org. (My own summary and re-write.) I created the page because Young Israel was referenced on the Richard H. Schwartz page I was upgrading. I know little else about this group -- if you do, please expand this stub. Rooster613 19:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)Rooster613

Conservative Judaism Does Not Come From Orthodox Judaism
Under Section "Seminar" there is prose that reads "...this was the time period when conservative Judaism movement was just starting to break away from orthodoxy..."

This is false. Conservatism is a metastasis from Reform; ergo the name: proponents wanted to "conserve" more than Reform was doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.20.84.59 (talk • contribs)

Constitution
The ShulCloud "Ratified October 6, 1997/Amended May 21, 2013" constitution is not what was in effect before, e.g. in the days of conventions at the late upstate Homowack and, even further back, the Pineview Hotel.

Two basic points are Sabbath-observing officers (there's "All Officers of the Women's League shall be Sabbath Observers" and "All elected officers of the Intercollegiate Council shall be Sabbath observers") and that each branch itself must have a constitution. The 1997 constitution did not break new ground in these areas.

Meeting participation of delegates by phone is new. Pi314m (talk) 04:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Yiddish?
I propose to replace all instances of "shul" in the article with "synagogue" which already appears multiple times in the article. I see no reason why a Yiddish term should be used in an article in an English-language encyclopedia when there is a perfectly adequate English word meaning the same thing, setting aside, of course, that words in different languages may have different overtones (as, for example, the same pitch on a clarinet and a violin).

 * I retract this proposal. Because Yiddish is in such common use in the subject population, I felt it was better just to indicate that shul is Yiddish for synagogue.  I note that many of the article's references use the "shul." Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 02:54, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Hanging adjective
Latest change by @Nuts240 cuts out most of a sentence, leaving only "The current" to end the paragraph. Revert, or strike "The current", or ??? -- Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 05:54, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Fixed: the current rabbi, cited. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 05:26, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
