I belonged to a Reform temple for many years before it dawned on me what the denomination had become. Now I don't go to any of them, not being religious enough to join an Orthodox temple, and having the idea that Conservative is fairly close to Reform in many ways.

I may have rejoined our old Reform temple since I used to enjoy sparring with the Rabbi about the leftism of Reform Judaism, but he passed away, and it all seems kind of pointless now.

Planning a Seder with my wife though, tonight.

Um . . . the only "Orthodox temple" is the one in Jerusalem--destroyed twice, and to be rebuilt soon and never destroyed again.

Only "Reform" calls its synagogues "temples" and does so explicitly to claim that they have superceded the Jerusalem Temple, which they say is primitive and outdated. "Reform Judaism" is thus every bit as supercessionist as classical chr*stianity.

I enjoy the Conservative service. Women don't read from the Torah but they can read other prayers. Has a lot of Hebrew but some English.
