Reform Responsa

This volume of Responsa, originally published in 1960, answers such questions as: May a memorial service be held on Shabbat? What is the role of a stepfather at a bar mitzvah? Can a congregational gift shop be open on Shabbat? Must an Ark be centered on the bima? Is it acceptable to marry an apostate daughter of a Jewish mother? Should a dying patient be informed of his condition? What to do when a body is lost at sea? These questions and more shed light on the issues of concern to the Jewish community when this book was first published, and still provide insight today.
