Where is Reform Judaism heading in the twenty-first century? This was the question before the Central Conference of American Rabbis at its historic 1999 convention in Pittsburgh as it voted on a Statement of Principles. A Vision of Holiness: The Future of Reform Judaism is an explication of these Pittsburgh Principles, the fourth in a series of comprehensive statements that the Reform rabbinate has adopted throughout its history, as seen through the eyes of the rabbi who guided the process and shaped the document. A Vision of Holiness offers challenges and opportunities to Jews everywhere. This book contains the final text of the Pittsburgh Principles along with commentary by its chief architect, Rabbi Richard N. Levy. Rabbi Levy challenges his readers to reflect on the nature of their religious lives and deepen their relationship with God, their connection to Torah, and their commitment to the destiny of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. A Vision of Holiness illumines the manner in which Jews can envision their purpose in the world, and sets forth challenges for Reform Judaism's ongoing engagement with the question of being commanded.
