What’s ailing Reform
Writing in the Forward, a Georgia rabbi throws down a challenge to his fellow Reform Jews:
As the Reform movement has increasingly emphasized religious autonomy and the importance of choosing what each person finds spiritually meaningful, it has become impossible to compel members to come to services regularly, study Torah seriously and contribute to the vibrant well-being of their congregation. Instead, they are allowed to come twice a year and call on the rabbi whenever they need a life cycle ceremony.

Ahh, for the good old days when the Reform rabbinate was allowed to shoot people who didn’t come to services regularly. I love this nostalgia for a mythical lost totalitarian paradise.
