Read my post 92. Reform Jews past a certain age are -generally- not very sincere in their faith anymore. In fact, they don't even accept the Bible as given by G-d anymore. Some of the Rabbis don't believe in G-d. They have some openly gay and lesbian Rabbis. And they do, generally (almost universally perhaps even), promote a leftist social agenda.

This is not to say it applies to all of them, but I'd say it applies to a fairly large majority. It's unfortunate. They really were a denomination started with great ideas, by great men, and had noble intentions. The problem was some of their ideas worked too well, and they got carried away with others, and confused others still for political movements of the day (e.g. confusing socialism for social justice).

To put it better, the Reform have confused liberalism with Judaism and done too good a job of thinking liberalism IS Judaism!
