Teh Grandfather was a Rabbi at a Reform Temple.
The crying became more audible as Mindy Evnin stepped to the grave and dropped a shovelful of dirt onto the coffin.
That he would be a liberal is to be expected.

Graf 19 says that the congregation was Conservative, not Reform:

"Though he did not grow up deeply religious, relatives said, the extended family celebrated Jewish holidays, and Evnin had his bar mitzvah at the Conservative synagogue his grandfather led."

Not that it should make a rat's ass of difference in a discussion of one who has made the Supreme sacrifice.
