CCAR

L'chol Z'man v'Eit is edited by Rabbi Don Goor
L'chol Z'man v'Eit Supplement is edited by Rabbi April Davis

Now with a new supplement, the CCAR clergy manual contains a wealth of prayers, readings, rituals, and ceremonies, expanding the original to encompass many new situations. Designed for the current moment, its prayers and blessings respond to the evolving role of Reform clergy and the changing life experiences of our congregants. Among these liturgical responses are blessings for moving, starting school, and taking a new name; prayers to support community members dealing with infertility, premature birth, abortion, addiction, eating disorders, assault, and suicide; and an extensive collection of readings to guide communities through times of challenge and pain such as natural disasters, shootings, and antisemitic incidents.

L'chol Z'man v'Eit - The Time Has Come For A New Life-Cycle Guide

L'chol Z'man v'Eit is already making a tremendous difference in the lives of rabbis, cantors, and congregants. Read the testimony below to find out what Cantor Marshall Portnoy has to say about the new Life-Cycle Guide:

After reading through the new Life-Cycle Guide, I see that this is something groundbreaking, highly personal, flexible, nuanced, offering a wide universe of choice in content, tone and approach. Now that I have used the manual for an unveiling and a funeral, let me add that it is highly literate yet human and intimate, scrupulously edited, and eminently useful. Stylistically, there is a felicitous combination of immediacy and gracefulness that renders it highly accessible and "real". You should feel wonderful about what you have achieved. This manual will be our voice for many decades.
