Conservative Judaism - Organizational Structure

Organizational Structure

The Conservative-Masorti movement is unified on a global level by Masorti Olami, representing affiliated congregations in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Masorti Olami unites a number of smaller national and regional organizations, including:

  • The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) in the United States and Canada,
  • The Assembly of Masorti Synagogues in the United Kingdom,
  • Masorti Europe in Europe,
  • Masorti AmLat in Latin America,

The international association of Conservative/Masorti Rabbis is known as the Rabbinical Assembly; the Cantors Assembly is the organization of chazanim. The global youth movement is known as NOAM (an acronym for No'ar Masorti); its North American chapter is called the United Synagogue Youth. The movement maintains numerous Rabbinical seminaries and other educational institutions.
