Discusses the recent issues and arguments surrounding the Reform movement. The contributors to this volume examine several issues including: the role of Reform in relation to Conservative and Orthodox movements; the role of women and feminism in Reform, particularly women rabbis; the upcoming vote on the new platform scheduled for this year; and interpretations of the latest census data for Reform Jews.
This is a ground breaking collection of essays that takes a hard look at the Reform Movement today. Opening essays look at the problem of building a religous community, the competition in the "spiritual marketplace," and why people join or do not join a Reform synagogue. Other contributors look at a host of controversial issues including Patrilineal Descent, Outreach, Intermarriage, gender issues, gay and lesbian participation, and others.
