Are they basically the Methodists of Judaism?
Worse. They're the Anglicans and Unitarian Universalists of Judaism. The "Conservative" Judaism is closer to Methodists, and the Orthodox are like the hardline Baptists/TradCaths of Judaism.
I'm Jewish... born Reform, admire orthodox, presently conservative.
I laughed at your post and I think I would laugh harder if I had a better understanding of the differences between the myriad Christian denominations.
Well, if this helps, Bush Sr. was an Episcopalian (Anglican), Bush Jr. is a Methodist, and Ted Cruz is a Baptist. You can tell a little about each denomination by those guys, though they don't epitomize them.
Methodists are also pretty wide-ranging, going from raving loony leftist to about even with conservative Baptists, but they're about to formalize a split between those groups.
(However, Jimmy Carter was a Baptist, too. He's just one of the people who are turning the Southern Baptist Convention into another leftist mechanism.)
Yeah, we all have our bad seeds. Like Pelosi being Catholic.
I don't know my christian denominations enough but they are typically almost "secular," picking and choosing Torah. They tend to be anti-Israel, anti-West, pro-communism, pro-abortion, and pro Palestinian.
Reform is a Jew's gateway drug to Atheism.
Don’t they allow atheism? My reform Jew friend married a hardcore atheist but insisted on a Jewish wedding. They told him he could still be an atheist even if he converted.
Reform Jews allow ANYTHING, except dissent from leftist talking points.
Complete picking and choosing of scripture to support a pre determined narrative. Completely disregards sounds religious thought in opposition.
I don't know anything about methodists but basically the Reform make it as cringe as possible. They'll have like a lesbian rabbi doing a drum circle to an african or arab beat and call it a Prayer. then have some lecture from a mixed jewish-nonjewish couple with the kid saying how wonderful it is to experience both cultures. Then they will eat organic bagels. then might do a blm fundraiser.
I went to my childhood synagogue a few years ago. There was a woman Rabbi. I went on Yom Kippur. Big fast day where you atone for the sins of the community. She spend her little speech... bashing Walmart for not paying a high enough wage.
I once was invited to attend a Yom Kippur services in a reform temple. At one point I was flipping through the prayer book (it was called a Siddur) and there were "religious" songs in the back. One of them... shit you not... "O Canada!"
Speaking generally, if you are religious, even as a non-Jew, and would like to experience worship of G-d in a Jewish shul. Go to a Chabad or Orthodox. MAYBE a Conservative temple in a POLITICALLY conservative geographic area. You can experience reverence and tradition and worship without understanding a single word.
If you attend reform you're likely to have a "Rabbi" that moonlights as a "Elder Witch Against Patriarchy" and marches with NAMBLA.
I love Chabad. Became friendly with the one in my old hometown. He used to have Shabbat services out of his house. I'd bring my very young daughter and she'd play with his children in the back yard. And after the service was a meal, and I liked to come up with some tough questions for him. (Some of his answers were better than others.)
In fact... I once asked him about divorce and the Get. And how a man can initiate the divorce but a woman can't. What happens when a woman has an abusive husband? (I had a conversation online with a Christian woman who found herself at a dilemma in her previous marriage from this).
His answer was interesting. "It is a problem," he said. "But you generally pressure the guy to give his consent to the Get."
"How?" I asked.
"Depends,' he said. "Are we talking modern day or are we talking Ancient Israel?"
"Let's start with ancient Israel" I said.
"Well, in Ancient Israel.... she'd get her brothers and father together. And they'd beat the crap out of her husband until he gave the Get."
Love that answer.
But yeah I .... I have little patience for Reform now, even if it's what I was raised in.
