Reform Judaism, but rather
show the true meaning of
the name "Reform."
"Reform believes in
change," Rabbi Polish said.
"Once Jews were Reform be-
cause they needed it to help
them be Americans. Now the
question is, how can we live
Jewish lives?"
The sense of Reform's
direction will come, in part,
out of reliance on Reform
Halachah, "which may take
100 years to develop into
something clear in every
area," according to Rabbi
Walter Jacob, president of
the Central Conference of
American Rabbis, the
movement's rabbinic arm.
Speaking at the biennial,
Rabbi Jacob said that
codification of Reform posi-
tion and practice is needed,
as is more centralized
Reform authority.
"We have autonomy and
therefore we have chaos," he
said. "We need a greater
sense of discipline and sense
of direction. Build-your-own
Judaism is absurd."
Rabbi Schindler and
others called for a return to
the texts that are the very
foundation of the Jewish re-
ligion.
"Deeds, however good,
when detached from Torah
study are trivialized and de-
nied their Jewish moor-
ings," Rabbi Schindler said.
"Without such a mooring,
deeds become entirely non-
obligatory. They can be ac-
cepted or rejected at whim."
"There is a much greater
thirst for the holy" in
Reform than ever, Rabbi
Schindler said. Reform Jews
"want to feel, they are sear-
ching for that which may not
necessarily be seen, but
which is, nonetheless,
real."
