Rabbi Joshua Heller, Rabbi Fine’s friend and classmate from the Jewish Theological Seminary who now heads Congregation B’nai Torah in suburban Atlanta, also sits on the movement’s Committee on Law and Standards. Rabbi Heller — who grew up in Bayonne, the son of Rabbi Zachary Heller, the longtime leader of the city’s Temple Emanu-El and a prominent Conservative movement leader — wrote a paper, as the teshuvot, the answers to halachic questions posed to the committee are called informally, laying out three possible ways forward. The committee accepted all three of them.
