I was about to a light a menora at an old age home when an elderly woman asked me which synagogue I belong to. I told her that I don't go to any of the local synagogues but that I am a yeshiva student and helping the local Chabad rabbi.
She told me "Oh well I am a member of the Reconstructionist synagogue. The important thing is that we all believe in One Almighty God."
I didn't have the chutzpah to ask her what she thinks The One Almighty God does or want's besides adherence to ambiguous contemporary morality.
She also apparently doesn't understand that she isn't even supposed to believe in a divine supernatural power according to the Reconstructionist platform...
Hashem should help.

ReplyDeletediscussing the difference between reform and conservative on friday night, i wondered why, according to their beliefs, they even care.
ReplyDeleteif there is no G-d, there is no religion, and if G-d doesnt want you to do anything, there is no religion.
I have often pondered the very same subject.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they can get anyone to come to synagogue at all, or even set out to do that, is perplexing.
