Despite the Conservative synagogue's “don't ask, don't tell” policy, everyone knew that their part-time rabbi was gay, co-President Lill Shender said.

“Most of the congregation accepted her very warmly. She was a warm, personable person with a great voice and a great personality,” Shender said.

The sexual orientation of the rabbi, who left in July to take a position on the West Coast, may have been an issue for some congregants, but nobody complained to her about it, Shender said.

But the topic is becoming an issue for the Conservative movement in Judaism, as the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards is expected to vote this December on four papers regarding gay clergy and rabbis blessing same-sex unions.
