Standards of Practice

As a Masorti Community we are bound by Halacha – Jewish ritual law – drawn from the Bible and Rabbinic sources and applied today, for our community, by the Rabbinic leadership of the Masorti Movement locally and across the world.

On this page you can find some material prepared by our previous Rabbi that spells out the SAMS approach to some of the issues we face as a community.

Why do women receive aliyot and read from the Torah?

What aliyot should be given to the daughters and wives of cohenim and leviim?

Can and Should Women Lead Prayer Services at SAMS?

What is an acceptable standard of dress for Synagogue services?

What is SAMS standard policy on Kashrut?

What is an acceptable level of Kashrut for Pesach?

The Assembly of Masorti Synagogues is proud to associate itself with the Fairtrade Foundation bringing Tikkun Olam to our consumer driven world.

 

If you have any questions about these standards, or other questions you would like to see treated on this page, please contact SAMS religious committee c/o info@e-sams.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
