Gary Metzel, general conference chairman, called this the most suc cessful of the conferences presented in this series. The rabbinic staff consisted of eight Atlanta Reform rabbis plus five from out of town, including Athens and Columbus, Ga.; Miami; Birmingham, Ala.; and Houston. According to Metzel, this con ference and the two previous ones held in 1984 and 1985, have gone a long way toward dispelling the “conspiracy of silence” about God that had heretofore existed between congregants and their rabbis. Con ferences such as this one are being duplicated in all regions of the Uni ted States. “They help address the Jewish yearning for spiritual roots and provide a mechanism for Re form Jews to explore their own spirituality,” Metzel said. k The United Way.
