The Central Conference of American Rabbis' own March 2000 resolution affirming that a Jewish, same-gender couple's relationship is worthy of affirmation through appropriate Jewish ritual, and supporting Reform rabbis who choose to officiate at such ceremonies, extending the CCAR's 1996 resolution opposing bans on civil same-sex marriage into support for religious ceremonial recognition.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The Reform rabbinate's own central body, resolving in its own name and archiving its own resolution text, including the background note naming the 1996 predecessor it builds on. NotesAdopted at the CCAR's 111th Convention, March 2000: "the relationship of a Jewish, same gender couple is worthy of affirmation through appropriate Jewish ritual," and support for colleagues who choose to officiate at rituals of union for a same-gender couple as well as those who decline. Its own background section cites the CCAR's 1996 resolution, which had opposed governmental bans on gay and lesbian marriage without yet endorsing rabbinic officiation.
