So do you want to join my Conservative Synagogue?
Do these 4 Standards seem excessive? How?
#1 Seems fair or why bother with #4
#2 Probably can be worked with?
#3 Mom is Jewish or....you aren't... So see #4
#4 Seems like fair standards.
1) Rabbi's and Cantors are prohibited from officiating at intermarriages in any way.
2) No remarriages without an acceptable get or other halachic termination of a previous marriage whether by death or haf"kaat kidushin (annulment) .
3) The recognition of Jewish Lineage through matrilineal descent only.
4) Conversions to Judaism requires both circumcision and mikveh immersion for males and only the latter for females.
The Reform movement ...reformed the movement that wanted to CONSERVE Judaism
in the US ( The Conservative Movement).
Reform has changed stance in many areas to be all inclusive...
Groucho said: I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.
If there is no bar...how will any fell we measure up? If we don't need to follow
the Mitzvot of Torah...how do we know when we are doing it right.
Who else has the right to decide? Who?
What Rabbi would want to take that decision from HaShem?
Gehennom anyone?
How close are R and C becoming. I know that R is moving towards C, but is C moving at all? And if so in which direction?
