Is it better to be an observant Reform Jew or an occasional Conservative one?
Answer:
It is better to be a better Jew!
In other words: a Jew should never restrict him/herself to a human definition or movement.
Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, these are names of movements. But a Jew is not a movement; s/he is a Jew chosen byG-d to represent Him in this world. Every Jew received the whole Torah at Sinai, and every Jew should at every moment try to fulfill as much of that Torah as s/he can.
If today s/he was good, and tomorrow s/he has an opportunity to be better, by all means be better. What will be the next day? S/he will deal with that when it comes.
So a Jew should simply strive to be better, rather than try to fit into a definiton.
