Admin/Biog History	The CCAR was organized at Temple Beth El in Detroit on July 9-10, 1889 during the 11th Council of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The CCAR was the brain-child of Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, the founder of Reform Judaism in the United States. Rabbi Wise sought to make CCAR a means of establishing a position of dignity for the rabbi in America.
