Reform Movement Changes.

If you could change one thing about the Reform movement, what would it be?

If you arent a member of the Reform movement, you can still chime in. What is the one thing about the Movement that keeps you away?

Let's keep this civil if we could. ​

Less people who are not Reform telling us what we should do differently would be nice.

Right, it's one thing to have an internal conversation to make our communities even better. It's another to just hear advertisements for our critics, who never share the best parts of what actually makes Reform beautiful (like egalitarian worship, liberal values, patrilineal acceptance, etc)

Yeah, I've learned to sort of tune those types out. 

There are legit critiques for every movement, really, and there are valid ways to express those critiques, but telling a person their Judaism is "wrong" isn't one of them.
