| The prophets preparing a funeral for the Conservatives are forgetting one thing: Jews are not square, round and triangualar pegs made to fit three fixed "streams" of Judaism. They are individual Jews -- who have genuine convictions, yes; but who also know that we`re a family and we have to get along. As long as there are more than ten Jews in a community, there will be more than one shul for them to worship together in. Call the movements whatever you will: In the end, they are merely expressions of the people in them; and those people are not about to disappear. |
