I was in a reform synagogue for a bar Mitzvah not long ago and when I saw the prayer book I nearly threw up. Everything is so fake prettied and watered down. The melodies are different and the words are different and the L-rd seems to be LGBT in gender.

I thought that all commandments had at their base “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor.” I think in Reform Judaism, the base of all the commandments is “Diversity and total acceptance is higher than life itself.”

Wow. Sounds like one of those LGBT/"diversity"/liberalism-worshipping Unitarian "churches"...

Dear Yaelle,

If you found the Deformed Bar Mitzvah ceremony disturbing, consider exercising your gag reflex by attending a newly approved Conservative ceremony for a “Queer marriage”.

Yes, those “ceremonies” were approved by the Conservatives. Whether their “inclusiveness” will be judged harshly in the “Higher Court” is as yet unknown (and may be unknowable), but odds in Vegas a running 25 to 1 against the “Queer Marriage” ceremony approval.

;-)
