In order to ensure a deeper understanding of contemporary Conservative Judaism from theological, cultural, sociological and educational perspectives, and the changes that have been taking place in these areas, The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute initiated in 2007 the establishment of a study group on Conservative Judaism. The fruits of the intellectual labors of this group, alongside new studies by other prominent scholars from Israel and abroad, will be presented at the Conservative Judaism: Halakhah, Culture and Sociology - International Conference at The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, Jerusalem.
