Masorti rabbis are investigating the possibility of electronically streaming services for Shabbat and Yomtov.
While the movement permitted members to stream their Pesach Seder during lockdown – as long as the technology was switched on before the festival – it has not supported digital services other than on weekdays.
But now its rabbis are considering whether to follow the Conservative movement in the USA, which last month approved the streaming of services.
In a statement, Masorti rabbis said while the movement had always taken “close account” of the American Conservatives’ decisions, “it has never been bound by them and, like the Israeli Masorti rabbinate, constitutes an independent unit with its own Bet Din.”
