The protest came from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which represent the liberal Reform movement; the Rabbinical Assembly, which represents the centrist Conservative movement; and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association.

The Rabbinical Council of America, which represents modern Orthodox rabbis, had joined the presidential holiday call in the past but did not sign this week’s announcement.

Rabbi Mark Dratch, executive vice president of the group, said, “We respect the office of the presidency and believe it is more effective to address questions and concerns directly with the White House.”

The council had issued a statement soon after the violence in Charlottesville criticizing Trump’s remarks as a “failing of moral leadership” that “fans the flames of intolerance.”
