Default Non-Orthodox
Hi. I've noticed nobody posts in the sections for Reform, Conservative, etc. Is that because everyone here is Orthodox or because it's just easier to post in one place? I'm wondering if anyone here identifies themselves as anything aside from Orthodox or Secular?

Easier to post here I guess. But I'm unusual in that I'm Sephardic and these 'branches' don't mean too much to me. I was born into an Orthodox community but then my parents moved to a Traditional shul and now currently I live down the street from a Reform temple and daven there! (no where else in miles, it's almost rural here)

Of course then I have my other 'odd' non-Orthodox branch...

So I take it your don't think the Rabbi there should be executed? Yes, I've actually heard someone say they should all be killed. I'm going to a Reform Temple tonight. I'm going to go to a Conservative Synagogue too and eventually Orthodox. I'm easing myself into it.

LOL, no I'm pretty neutral on these 'branches'. As I said my culture is unfamiliar with this mindset. To us, there are just Jews who are more observant, and Jews who are less observant, and this can and often does change during the course of many Jew's lives. I suspect that the anger you describe is more directed at Rabbis who will preside over an intermarriage, as Reform ones are suspected of doing this more than other branches. I don't see this myself, our Rabbi won't. Besides there's civil ceremonies so you can't blame intermarriage on the Rabbi!!

Good for you for trying out various ones. Keep in mind that even within a branch there is quite a range of expression and variation one shul to another. If you can find one, try out a Traditional shul too. It's sorta between Conservative and Orthodox. Home observances are virtually the same as Orthodox but the Temple experience is more intimate and casual, as families can all sit together as there's no special section for women-only. (But single men and single women seem to sit apart anyways, habit I suppose)

I didn't make it on Friday. I got very very lost. I guess I need a fancy phone that tells me where I'm going. I am not sure we have what you have described in this area but we may.

But Mapquest won't tell me if it's Traditional or Orthodox? I only see Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Chabad (if you want to count that one separately). However, maybe one of those Orthodox is Traditional?

I meant use mapquest so you won't get lost

I'm old fashioned, I'd look up Temples in the yellow pages then use mapquest to see where they are. Traditional shuls will list themselves as Traditional, not Orthodox in the yellow pages.

The hatred is listed for a multitude of reasons such as..
-they twist the Torah
- they encourage Jews to break commandments
- they allow women to sing
- they allow men and women to sit next to one another
- and the commandment that when you see your friend sinning you should hate him (pesachim 113b)?

The Reform Jews I know (I don't know the Rabbi that well, TBH) simply have the philosophy that every Jew should have the freedom to be as observant as their own conscience tells them to. I'm observant in ways that many of them are not, but they have the general reaction of 'more power to ya!' than anything else, and seem happy for me that I find meaning in these ways. Never has anyone ever discouraged anything I do, and I feel free to encourage them to also observe more and those who see the meaning in them often do so. It's all a very non-judgmental environment, and as a Sephardic Jew I feel more at home in such rather than some environments where lots of peer pressure is brought to bear on those who are a bit non-traditional.

So do Traditional shuls!

ya got me there...
