The documents below, created by a joint task force of the ACC and the CCAR, were endorsed by both organizations in 2005 in the spirit and support of a positive premise and role model for rabbinic-cantorial partnerships. The ACC recognizes the importance of concretizing a platform from which to begin – and further build -- successful and constructive rabbinic-cantorial relationships. We hope that these documents will serve the memberships of both organizations well. As each organization has endorsed these principles, we include them here with our governing documents.
