EUPJ’s European Beit Din Convenor
The European Union for Progressive Judaism is proud to announce that Rabbi Ruven Bar Ephraim has been appointed as the EUPJ’s Convenor to the European Beit Din, the Jewish law court for Progressive Jews in European countries where the community is too small to sustain its own Beit Din. Whether it’s seeking advice on conversion, adoption, or obtaining a Jewish divorce or any other issue concerning Jewish status or other areas of complex Jewish law the Beit Din can provide guidance.
Since 2007 he serves the liberal congregation Or Chadasch in Zurich (CH). Rabbi Bar Ephraim is married, has five children and thirteen grandchildren.We express once again our deep gratitude to Rabbi Dr Jackie Tabick for all she has done to support the EUPJ through the sacred task of convening our Beit Din. We wish Rabbi Dr Tabick all the very best for her retirement and look forward to working with Rabbi Bar Ephraim.
