This madness must end. Jew
arguing with Jew, using the
media as a battleground and ad-
jectives as battleflags. First we Z \
have the now-infamous ad
placed by an Orthodox group.
Then Rabbi Schindler of the
UAHC responds in his adress to
their convention which I
attended. A local Orthodox rabbi
takes issue calling Rabbi Schin-
dler an "evil racist." Last week's K
Op-Ed called for unity yet the
same issue contained "scathing j
attacks on Reform and Consera- '
tive Judaism" by the Agudath
Israel of America rejectng the
UAHC's K'lal Yisrael resolution
that called for "dialogue with /I
mutual respect among all '\
branches of Judaism."
As Rabbi Schindler said,
"What chutzpah, this! What ar-
rogance! What desecration! To
presume to know just which
rites and prayers are and are
not acceptable to the ribono shel
olam; to claim the clairvoyance
to look into the soul of another
human being and judge his feel-
ings for God!"
Why is it that Lutherans,
with whom we share a building,
will attend our services yet
there are some Jews who refuse.
This should not be. But the
schism widens. One reason, and
one I take great issue with, is
the increasing use of the term
"observant" as a synonym for
Orthodox. I observe Judaism as
a Reform Jew yet some would
consider me non-observant by
their definition. Our congrega-
tion takes great pride in our ob-
servances and our daily celebra-
tions of our Jewish lives. No one
who has been with us could pos-
sibly say we were "non-
observants." I cannot accept this
term and I refuse to do so. I am
an observant Jew who happens
to be affiliated with the Reform
movement. Observance is a rela-
tive term, not an absolute, and
it is not defined by one's affilia-
tion.
I don't ask for the Orthodoxy's
blessing, only their recognition
that different prespectives can
be valid. But to hear, they must
first listen and that is what I
ask. Let us at least agree to dis-
agree. Again Rabbi Schindler —
... the Jewish world must
know this: Reform is an adjec-
tive, it is not a noun. The noun
is Jew."
The more adjectives separate
us, the quieter becomes our
voice.
