Overview and metadata sections
The Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia traces its origins back to the 1860s and the creation of the Board of Jewish Ministers by Rabbi Isaac Leeser. The Board of Jewish Ministers met only intermittently until becoming a regularly constituted organization in the late 1890s. According to board history, they began to develop thereafter as, "[A] collegial body of ordained rabbis dedicated to maintaining and nurturing the Jewish way of life and to developing good relations with all sectors of the community." However, the modern iteration of the board still did not truly coalesce into an organization with any influence until the second half of the twentieth century.
In the early 1950s, a group of concerned rabbis responded to what they saw as the growing fissure between religious sects and the rapid secularization of the members of the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia (FJA) by persuading the federation that an agency was needed to encourage the maintenance of the religious aspects of Jewish life and provide representation for the interests of the Philadelphia rabbinate. They also insisted that this agency needed representation for each of the four major religious schools of thought which characterize modern Judaism: Orthodoxy, Conservatism, Reform, and Reconstructionism. In response, the federation subsumed the existing Board of Jewish Ministers, changed its name to the Philadelphia Board of Rabbis, and charged it with, "…enhance[ing] the religious values and significance of all Jewish communal endeavors in furtherance of the historic character of the Jewish People as a religiously committed people." The Board of Rabbis has been funded by the FJA and the Federation Allied Jewish Appeal (FAJA) since that point.
As the responsibilities of the board expanded, the federation saw the need to appoint the board's first full-time executive director, Rabbi Harold Goldfarb, in 1960. The revised constitution and bylaws of 1961 reflected this new commitment and direction by stating: "[The] principal objects and purposes of this Board shall be: (a) To stress the primacy of religion in the personal and communal life of the Jew; (b) To provide guidance and leadership to the Jewish community in all matters that concern Jewish religious life, and to cooperate with other Jewish communal agencies for the advancement of Judaism and the well-being of K'lal Yisrael; (c) To interpret the ideals, purposes and needs of the Jewish and non-Jewish communities to each other; (d) To strengthen and dignify the status of the rabbinate and to afford rabbis an opportunity for fellowship and for the promotion of their cultural and social interests; (e) To encourage Jewish scholarship." It was also at this time that the Philadelphia Board of Rabbis officially changed its name to the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia. There was little change to the mission in subsequent years. Over the next few decades, the Board of Rabbis and its numerous committees devoted themselves to concerns such as promoting and monitoring the adherence to Jewish laws and customs within the local Jewish community, serving as a source of religious education, encouraging professional development amongst Philadelphia rabbis, and inter and intra religious relations; as well as broader issues like fighting antisemitism and the persecution of Jews around the world and promoting Holocaust education and remembrance.
On January 1, 1982, the federation merged the administrative and financial structures of the Board of Rabbis and another of its constituent groups, the Jewish Chaplaincy Service (JCS.) The Jewish Chaplaincy Service was founded in 1941 with the purpose of managing and assigning rabbis equipped to meet the spiritual needs of Jewish inmates in state correctional facilities, patients in medical facilities offering acute or long-term care, and residents in nursing homes. From 1982 through 1993, the Board of Rabbis and the JCS shared a budget, office space, an executive director, and other administrative personnel. Though the agencies were administered jointly, they technically remained separate with independent boards and distinct missions. In 1993, the federation severed its connection to the JCS thus untethering it from the Board of Rabbis. While JCS continued as an independent organization, the Board of Rabbis assumed responsibility for federation-supported chaplaincy services. Federation chaplaincy programs eventually became the responsibility of Jewish Family and Children's Service of Greater Philadelphia in 2000.
The Board of Rabbis is still in existence and remains a program of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia (formerly known as Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia.)
The Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia Records document the programs, events, day-to-day operations, and twentieth century history of the board. The records are comprised of incoming and outgoing correspondence, committee meeting materials, reports, administrative documents, organizational histories, media materials, writings of members, financials, and photographs and audio-visual material. The bulk of the records were created and maintained by the offices of Executive Directors Rabbi Harold Goldfarb, Rabbi David Wortman, and Rabbi Richard Hirsh along with Assistant Directors Rabbi Sandra Berliner and Rabbi Robert Tabak. Subject strengths include the board's promoting the observance of the Sabbath and the High Holy Days; monitoring local community adherence to Jewish laws and customs; oversight of the Milah Board; rabbinical education and professional development; coordination with constituent organizations such the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia (JCRC), the Memorial for the Six Million Jewish Martyrs, and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA); interfaith relations; and Holocaust remembrance and education; along with interagency business and board-sponsored events like Jewish Law Day and the Bicentennial Conference on Religious Liberty. Also covered is the board's concern for broader topics such as antisemitism, Soviet and Russian Jewry, and the State of Israel. Some documents pertaining to religious matters, organizational outreach, Jewish immigration, and Israel as well as some printed ephemera in Hebrew or Yiddish can be found throughout the collection. Several documents pertaining to Soviet Jewry are in Russian.
Some records of the Jewish Chaplaincy Service are also included. These documents highlight the details of services rabbis performed in hospitals for people with illnesses, in hospice care with older adults, and in correctional facilities with those incarcerated. Additional items of note include documentation of the board and the Chaplaincy Services' work with traditionally underserved members of the community such as people with disabilities, people with illnesses, people experiencing homelessness, and older adults. The board's particular focus on destigmatizing substance use disorders within the Jewish community is also well documented.
This collection includes preserved versions of the organization's website, available through Archive-It. Collection is arranged by order of accession. Researchers should note that documents of the same subject may appear in multiple series.

Donated by the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia in 1978, 1994-1995, and 2000. Collection previously administered by the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center, acquired by Temple in June 2009.
Original audiovisual materials, as well as preservation and duplicating masters, may not be played. Researchers must consult use copies, or if none exist must pay for a use copy. Please contact the Special Collections Research Center for more information.
Collection processed and finding aid prepared in January-April 2019 by Casey Babcock, Project Archivist, with assistance from student assistant Victoria Nichols. Initial processing conducted by Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center staff during which all folders were replaced and/or relabeled.
Some folder titles throughout the collection were edited by the archivists for the sake of clarity and description enhancement. This involved the addition of formats and names along with the rearrangement of descriptive words used.
Folder titles in the collection inventory were provided by the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia or applied by the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center staff. In certain instances, researchers will find language in these folder titles that is insensitive toward people with disabilities, people with long-term illnesses, and older people. The archivist retained the folder titles because they accurately reflect the language used by the Board of Rabbis within the documents and the context in which the records were created. Text written by the archivist in the finding aid, such as the description of collection and series descriptions, does not include this language except when quoting directly from a document within the collection which may aid understanding or discoverability. The archivist adhered to institutional policy that prescribes archivist-supplied text in the finding aid be inclusive and appropriate for a modern context. See the SCRC Statement on Potentially Harmful Language for more information.
Series are arranged according to order of accession. Series and subseries are described at the folder level.

Scope and Contents
Series 1: Accession 456, 1941-1981, bulk 1960-1977, consists primarily of documents created and maintained by the executive director of the Board of Rabbis' office.

Included in this series are correspondence; meeting minutes; reports on various Board committees and programming matters; financial and administrative documentation; press releases and official statements; writings for publications; newspaper clippings; questionnaires; and membership lists. Also included are communications between constituent organizations such as the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia (FJA), the Federation Allied Jewish Appeal (FAJA), and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia (JCRC) documenting administrative matters, inter-agency relations, programming coordination, and fund raising. Topics in this series cover a range of the board's activities such as promoting the observance of the Sabbath, High Holy Days, and kashrut; monitoring the adherence to Jewish laws and customs within synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses, cemeteries, and schools; oversight of the Milah Board and the practices of Philadelphia mohalim; working to improve interfaith and community relations; and rabbinical education and professional development. Documents regarding broader topics such as antisemitism, Soviet Jewry, visits of prominent Israelis to the United States, US policy toward Israel and the Middle East, and civil rights can also be found here. This series is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Folder titles in this series inventory were provided by the Board of Rabbis or applied by the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center staff.

Scope and Contents
Series 3: Accession 2344 (Portions restricted), 1945-1995, bulk 1950-1995, contains records of both the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia and the Jewish Chaplaincy Service (JCS.) The administrative functions of each agency were merged by Federation of Jewish Agencies from 1982 through 1993, the Board of Rabbis and the JCS shared office space, professional staff, and a budget though they maintained distinct missions and functions. As a result, documents created during the period of joint administration were stored together and are collected in this series. Though this series includes documents dating back to 1945, the majority of the documents date from the 1980s-early 1990s during the administrations of Executive Directors Rabbi David Wortman and Rabbi Richard Hirsh along with Assistant Director Rabbi Robert Tabak, all of whom served for both the Board of Rabbis and the Jewish Chaplaincy Service. This series is arranged into two subseries: Subseries 3.1: Board of Rabbis records and Subseries 3.2: Jewish Chaplaincy Service records.
Folder titles in this series inventory were provided by Board of Rabbis or applied by the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center staff. In certain instances, researchers will find language in these folder titles that is insensitive toward people with disabilities, people with long-term illnesses, and older people.
Scope and Contents
Subseries 3.1: Board of Rabbis records, 1950-1995, undated, is comprised of materials from the executive director's office and numerous standing committees. Documents include correspondence; memoranda; copies and edits of the constitution and bylaws; organizational histories; meeting materials; notes; program planning, financial, and annual reports; newsletters; press clippings; and other printed ephemera. The materials cover the board's relationships with constituent agencies such as the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia (JCRC) and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA); program fund raising; interfaith relations; Judaism in education; the Milah Board; advocacy for religious traditions and ways of life; Soviet Jewry; events such as Jewish Law Day and the Bicentennial Conference on Religious Liberty; and administrative matters like financial and personnel management. Items of note include evidence of the board's work with traditionally underserved members of the community such as people with disabilities; people diagnosed with AIDS; people experiencing homelessness; at-risk youth; people struggling with mental health illnesses; survivors of domestic violence; and older adults. The board's particular focus on destigmatizing substance use disorders within the Jewish community is also well documented. Additionally, photographs of convocations, award ceremonies, and other activities of the Board of Rabbis and the Jewish Chaplaincy Service are included here as well. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.

Scope and Contents
Series 4: Accession 2848, 1978-1998, consists of correspondence; reports; budgets; press releases; administrative documents; newsletters; and printed ephemera, the bulk of which cover the time of the Board of Rabbis' and the Jewish Chaplaincy Service's shared administrative operations. The bulk of this series was created and maintained by the offices of Executive Directors Rabbi David Wortman and Rabbi Richard Hirsh along with Assistant Directors Rabbi Sandra Berliner and Rabbi Robert Tabak. Subjects include advocacy, education, and conferences for Philadelphia rabbis; Soviet and Russian Jewry; promoting observance of the Sabbath, kashrut, and other religions traditions within the Jewish community; assistance for often overlooked segments of the Jewish community such as older people and people with terminal illnesses; and agency programming materials and budgets. Documents of note include records of Yad L'Chaim, the Jewish Hospice Care Program of the Jewish Chaplaincy Service. Yad L'Chaim provided spiritual support for Jewish patients and their families in hospice care facilities. This series is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Folder titles in this series inventory were provided by the Board of Rabbis or applied by the Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center staff. In certain instances, researchers will find language in these folder titles that is insensitive toward people with disabilities, people with long-term illnesses, and older people.
