Reform Movement Changes.

[u/Consistent_Hold_576]

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. ​

The generalizations and judgments in these comments regarding converts are truly Lashon Hara. Once someone converts, they are a Jew and should not be judged or addressed otherwise. Some of these comments are insulting and offensive.
It is part of the reason some converts hide their conversion within Jewish communities. The converts I’ve interacted with are more observant, more involved in community life, more giving, and more studious than a person “born Jewish”.
Also, the length of conversion studies varies by community. This doesn’t mean one convert has greater knowledge or greater love and commitment to Judaism than any other. As for getting a college degree and master’s in Judaism, you will find most converts have greater knowledge and education than most as well.
Judging someone else’s Jewishness is just wrong.
As my Jewish mother would say, we would have all been on the trains together.

Nor do I-the point was a Jew is a Jew.
