:''KESHER should not be confused with various U.S. synagogues incorporating the word Kesher into their names.'' KESHER (from Hebrew קשר 'linkage', 'connection') is the now-defunct college outreach arm and campus student organization for Reform Judaism. It was formally disbanded in 2009; the only remaining vestige is URJ-organized Taglit Birthright Israel trips, under the title "URJ Kesher". Its directors included Paul Reichenbach (-1995), David Terdiman (1995-7), Rabbi Jonathan Klein (1997-2000), Rabbi Andrew Davids, Rabbi Marc Israel, Lisa David (-2006); Nicole Rand was the latest acting director. There had been two program associates and an Israeli ''shaliach''. KESHER worked with organizations like Hillel to create Reform Jewish programs on campuses across North America. They were a member of the Israel Campus Coalition and sponsored the Argentina Ambassadors trip. KESHER also hosted a Leadership Training Seminar during the spring semester, coordinated by members of the KESHER Student Leadership Council. This council was made of 6-7 junior and senior students who applied each year for one or two terms (a school year). Through its (now-defunct) (website ) the group disseminated many documents describing the connection between Reform Judaism and North American Jewish youth. ==See also== * Union for Reform Judaism * Masorti on Campus, the college outreach arm of Conservative Judaism * Orthodox Jewish student groups at secular universities, the college outreach arm of Orthodox Judaism * Hillel, a larger, non-denominational Jewish campus movement 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KESHER」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
