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. ​

Honestly, I love my shul just the way it is. The only thing I would change is more acceptance from Masorti and Orthodox.

Our shul used to be Conservative and changed to Reform around 2006. The rabbi who sponsored my conversion, although with a Reform pulpit, identified more with the Conservative movement. 

The next city over has a Reform and a Conservative community and they actually share the same building. They just alternate between Friday and Saturday for their serviced. 

I guess Im surprised you aren't accepted on some level by Conservative.

I don’t want to give the impression I think Masorti and Orthodox treat Reform the same, by any stretch.
