The Reform movement in israel is addressing the wrong problem.
Every day, in many yeshivot and orthodox houses of study, the Reform movement is called names, being denigrated and stand accused of the worse crimes against Judaism.
The Reform movement is an Ashkenazi creation that was a reaction to certain fundamentalist and uncalled for strict Ashkenazi form of observance.
The Sefardis never experienced such schism not because they were not clever or educated enough to figure how to emulate a church as a jewish house of worship. (to be cont)
