Reform Judaism

What does Sup Forums think of reform jews? We aren't all secular or le happy haredim.

dunno man, you're too secretive to have an informed opinion of.

I'm not, maybe others are. Wouldn't be so secretive too if half the poles on here weren't telling us they wish they could finish us off.

Okay I feel talkative so I'll offer what I think is a reasonable explanation for your complaint. Bare in mind I'm not Polish.

Israel or someone with the political clout and authority insist on keeping those horror show Death Camps open and frequently they are referred to as Polish Death Camps. If they're so fucking important to Israel why don't you dig them up and replant them in Israel for your permanent reminder.

Poland is synonymous with the Holocaust despite Poland not even existing officially during that period. It's like Israel is holding Poland and the the whole of Europe eternally responsible for an event that it is a criminal act to ask questions about (exhibit any skepticism). Your tone suggests you feel hurt by my statement and the wholly random amount of Poles you claim do as you claim, and this when you are arguably one of the most powerful countries in the World with your frothing mouthed attack dog you keep on a leash (America).

I am not a Zionist. No like I got attacked by a pole just the other day for merely saying I was a jew. I think a lot of them think we are happy merchants who wear funny clothes or hollywood secularists making porn and telling everyone to use preferred pronouns.

I don't think we will EVER get the full answer on the Holocaust because it was a cover-up on both sides. I have visited Auschwitz and yeah its odd to have a tourist attraction out of a genocide but Terezin was interesting. They had this museum with kids drawings on the wall that really hit me in the feels.

...

Yes, I am serious.

how old are you on an anonymous image board having a discussion with someone in another country on another continent across the Atlantic Ocean?

Idiotic. What's the point of religion if it's not following the holy scriptures? It's like liking the brotherhood sentiment of the KKK but despising everything else so you actually call yourself grand wizard but you just say you have your own interpretation. Then you go like "The KKK needs a reform and a PR campaign because we represent the actual KKK not those radical extremists".

Fuck it man, just be a good person according to your beliefs. Otherwise you're just pissing everybody off.

Because we still follow some of it its just a modernization. Keep worshipping some dude in Italy though.

Do you guys believe in tikkun olam?

>Because we still follow some of it its just a modernization
Which is absolutely against the whole purpose of religion. Religion's biggest purpose is continuity, what's wrong today won't be right tomorrow.

>Keep worshipping some dude in Italy though
I don't, that's actually against Jesus Christ teachings.

Thoughts on zionism and Palestine?

Yes they talk about it all the time at Temple.

Very conflicted ATM. I think Israel has fucked up badly. Made us Americans go to war for them, will not explain 9/11 controversies like Urban Moving, Odigo Messages, or why we are at war with Iran's neighbors. I have been to Israel, it was beautiful, spiritual, I would love to return. But I know if there were a genocide, my father, a convert, would not be allowed to come with me, because he is a reform convert.

Its very painful to confront reality, but I think reform judaism does so with minimal abstraction, not we are doing this because we are told, but because we want to and we think it is right. And I think that's powerful to have book after book you CAN follow, you CAN keep kosher, be zionist, circumcise your kids, but nobody will force you to. It makes one understand the importance of religion and keeps out those who would use it as a mere social club or an obligation.

It's called modernization/enlightenment.

Look it up, it's good for you.

>reform jews
what christians?

Jews who have learned to live amongst Christians and respect interfaith dialogue and secular civil law.

You are the only jews who are not ok with circumcision, right?

jews dont reform, become a protestant and enjoy endless reforms!

Its simply optional.

They're very advanced
