The Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR), founded in 1889 by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, is the principal organization of Reform Jewish rabbis in the United States.
It primarily consists of rabbis educated at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion located in Cincinnati, Ohio, New York, New York, Los Angeles, California, and Jerusalem (Israel). The CCAR also offers memberhip to those who graduated in Europe from the Leo Baeck College in London (United Kingdom) and the Abraham Geiger Colleg at the University of Potsdam (Germany), and others who joined the Reform movement after being ordained. Most of the last group graduated from either the Conservative Jewish Theological Seminary of America or the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
The CCAR issues responsa, resolutions, and platforms, but in keeping with the principles of Reform Judaism, their positions are non-binding on individiual rabbis or congregations. It is also the publisher of CCAR Journal, a journal of Reform Judaism published quarterly. The group also runs the CCAR Press, a large publisher that produces Reform siddurim, machzorim, and haggadot with a mixture of Hebrew and English. The most well-known CCAR prayerbooks include Gates of Prayer, Gates of Repentance, and the recently published Mishkan T'filah.
