His distibguished rabbinical career reflects the exigencies of the rabbinate when he entered it and RIETS was forced to send rabbis to mixed seating synagogues. Enough said.Jeffrey R.

From the web: "Joseph Kelman, is the founding Rabbi of Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue in Bathurst Manor, Toronto's third largest Conservative congregation. Coming from a rabbinic family reaching back eight generations, Rabbi Kelman has devoted his life and career equally to scholarship and to the mentally handicapped. His two sons, Jay and Maury are now ninth generation rabbis" and "Rabbi Kelman was married to the late Ruth Friedman for over 45 years. They had 3 children.... Rabbi Jay Kelman is both a Rabbi at the neighbouring Beth Jacob Synagogue, a<br />nd also a chartered accountant. Jay and his wife Elana...<br />From the Torah in motion web site "He and his wife Ilana" I assume Ilana and Elana are the same person. If the two Rabbi Jay Kelman's are the same-his father was the founding Rabbi of Toronto's 3rd largest Conservative Cong. Coincidence or am I right.<br />I've had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Wolff a couple of times.

He is a Talmid Muvhaq of Rav Herschel Schechter shlita and I can testify that he is a fine lamdan, mehanekh and Rav. TIM is a forum for the exposition and advancement of responsible Modern Orthodoxy, in the finest YU tradition.<br /><br />As for me, read my blog and you"ll se who I am.Jeffrey R.

Jay Kelman-so I googled a few minutes-found he is son of the Rabbi emeritus of adjacent apparently conservative synagogue-the present Rabbi is a JTS grad. Of course a Maimonides guy like you would appreciate he is also a Maimonides grad. I never heard of Torah in Motion and I have heard of Jeffrey Wolff. <br />Of course Kelman is a famous Rabbinic name Wolfe Kelman A"H leading Conservative Rabbi and his daughter Reform Rabbi. What is Torah in Motion a Canadian Edah?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
