Their huge success in attests to the sensibility of their approach. it is posssible to be open and traditional at the same time and to impact the world at large.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139108139162330055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-25057034574874949652010-05-19T14:42:53.765-04:002010-05-19T14:42:53.765-04:00As someone just setting her feet on the path to co...As someone just setting her feet on the path to conversion, and feeling pulled toward many different ways in terms of belief and desire for observance, I appreciated reading this.Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319045019352278327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-56250142100648915762010-05-02T19:19:56.880-04:002010-05-02T19:19:56.880-04:00I wonder what other modifiers we might use to iden...I wonder what other modifiers we might use to identify ourselves when asked Jason's question. Will we define ourselves by our local community? The kind of Jewish involvements that we have? What gives us Jewish meaning? People will be asking this question for some time to come....so there will be a need for some kind of explanation for the foreseeable <br />future. But it's clear that the connection between denominational education and denominational identification cannot be assumed anymore.Rabbi Hayim Herringnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-71589659352827068292010-05-02T19:18:14.021-04:002010-05-02T19:18:14.021-04:00Barry,

I'm sure we could both take it even further and talk about aspects of other "flavors" of Judaism that we both like. I still refer to myself as a Conservative rabbi, a product of the Conservative Movement, and a Conservative Jew. However, I use those terms for identification purposes knowing full well that it will pigeon hole me in the minds of many.Rabbi Jason Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805550465729805847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-57640422138078502172010-05-01T23:37:25.522-04:002010-05-01T23:37:25.522-04:00When it comes to theology (and ordination) I'm...When it comes to theology (and ordination) I'm Conservative.<br /><br />When it comes to where I find the best davenning, I'm Orthodox.<br /><br />When it comes to my commitment to social action, I'm Reform.<br /><br />When it comes to my belief about the power of community, I'm Reconstructionist.<br /><br />One size does not fit all; but did it ever??Reb Barryhttp://www.neshamah.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-15812721678029116592010-04-29T17:10:35.107-04:002010-04-29T17:10:35.107-04:00great article! shalom from mexico city.great article! shalom from mexico city.Jorge Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700334099809682281noreply@blogger.com
