to be part of our cultural heritage as Jews as opposed to our religious heritage. These customs include saying Kidush on Friday night, lighting Chanukah candles, having a Seder on Passover, fasting on Yom Kippur, not eating pork and others. Some people observe more and some people less. The main difference between Masorti Israelis and conservative Judaism is that once the Masorti Israeli observes a certain custom/law, he observes it as would an orthodox Jew and not as anything else. For instance, a Masorti Israeli getting Bar Mitzvah'd would do so in an orthodox synogogue and not in a conservative one. As a Masorti Israeli I find it very offensive that this article compares me to a conservative Jew. I know what the right path of Judaism is but I choose not to follow it for my own personal reasons. Conservative Judaism is an attempt to create a new form of Judaism which isn't based on the written and oral bible and even negates it. However, to each their own and I respect everyone's choice to observe a religion or not in a manner of their choice. But please don't equate between my form of observance and others'. I am not orthodox but I am also not conservative. It's a huge difference and frankly it's insulting that this article generalizes thusly.

put in Herem for his philosophical writings; Orthodox practice is based on Karo's Shulkhan Arukh. As regards his principles of faith -- these were not universally accepted either. There were other formulations before and after Maimonides. Most controversial was his insistence that a person may not beleive that God has a corporeal form. All the Maimonidiean stuff aside - I think Rosenbach is asking a fundamental question regarding Conservative Judaism. How can Conservative Judaism believe itself to be "traditional" when the historicity of long held and "fundamental" beliefs are questioned or sometimes rejected? I think the answer lies in what it means to be "Traditional". The meaning of "tradition" is probably different to those with an orthodix bent versus a conservative bent. Perhaps an expert in Conservative Judaism could help enlighten Mr. Rosenbach.

old and is the progenitor to both reform of conservative. How then can Conservative Judaism claim to be "heirs to the tradition" of original Judaism, when we all know that they moved away from the original tradition. While I agree that "Maimonides is not and never should be considered Conservative or Orthodox." thats only because the denominations didn't exist. There were just 2 denominations, those Jews who lived a Torah life and those who did not, all modern variations are variants of the original. Only Orthodox judaism claims to never have change anything from the Torah, and thus believes that Moses, and the prophets all the way down to Maimonides lived most like the orthodox do today than any other denomination of Judaism that openly deviated from the original tradition
499: 1181:, laments the fact that many minyan participants come from Conservative backgrounds but find the movement lacking as they conceive of their adult prayer experiences. “I think people are really looking for an ideology, many of them, a practice that is somewhere in the framework known as Conservative Judaism, but they don’t find it in their Conservative synagogues,” says Rabbi Epstein, who urges the leaders of minyanim to hold their services in and otherwise affiliate with Conservative synagogues, rather than use the churches or community centers many choose. 552: 531: 242: 714: 562: 1250:: We don't pick one organizations structure (e.g. RIETS, YU and the RCA) and made that equivalent to all of Orthodox Judaism, and then label all other Orthodox groups as non-Orthodox. Rather, we have always defined Orthodox Judaism as a school of thought, with a range of theologies and practices, and then described in an NPOV fashion the groups that are widely recognized as Orthodox. Now we should do the same with Conservative Judaism. 668: 407: 417: 380: 296: 275: 1616: 1843:. I restored it with a couple of citations, but now Walker Through is calling me an unbeliever and that Jesus is the truth. I hope that better informed watchers of this page might keep an eye on this as I do not wish to enter a revert war. I would also ask watchers of this page to look at the last section on the talk page, and, if you have something constructive to add, consider it. 306: 190: 233: 1150:
expression of Judaism to resist an ill-defined label. What is the role for Conservative institutions in this new reality? Three suggestions: Lose the “Label yourself Conservative” mentality. Try instead: We encourage Jews to seek meaningful, empowered engagement with Judaism. Wherever that leads, we trust them, even if it is outside the Conservative menu of options.
1097:"Hadar is interested in welcoming Jews of all backgrounds," says Elie Kaunfer, one of the congregation's founders and a rabbinical student at JTS. "If Hadar were to call itself Conservative, it would be harder for people who identify as Orthodox or Reform or identify as 'not Conservative' to come. The more you label yourself, the harder it is to cast a wide net." 1686:
Masorti claim to be more close than the other to US conservatism. In reality, the former is slightly more progressive and the latter slightly more traditional. My criteria is the role of women, as that's what my MA is on. Finally, I take offence to criticism that work by 20 year old is not valid. At 18 in the UK, one becomes an adult and can vote.....
1106:"The question people are asking today is not, 'How do I become a Conservative Jew?'" Waldoks says. "The question is, 'Why be Jewish?'". Rabbi Ismar Schorsch, chancellor of JTS, claims that the Conservative movement, which he heads, is the primary source for the religious energy of post-denominationalism. He points to Hadar as an example. 1170:, is quoted in an article about the proliferation of supposedly non-denominational, and certainly non-affiliated minyanim and chavurot. What they have in common is that they are usually led by Conservative Jews, and their practices and theology are also Conservative Judaism. In response to this Rabbi Epstein states: 1090:, in Manhattan, NY. Most of its members even come from Conservative Jewish homes. A recent article quotes Rabbi Ismar Schorsch. Most interestingly, it quotes a Rabbi Elie Kaufner, who states that it doesn't advertise as being "Conservative" for membership purposes, not for theological or halakhic reasons! 2049:
Since 2011 a rebranding reassessment has been underway in Conservative Judaism. The movement has completed a survey and has now hired a firm to help with rebranding, not simply a marketing exercise, but understanding what members needs and figuring out how to address those needs. We need to make sure

This is a serious question dressed up in a lot of confusion. Maimonides is not and never should be considered Conservative or Orthodox. Such designations are purely anachronistic. Maimonidies's code is not considered binding for Consrevative Jews nor is it binding on Orthodox Jews. Maimonidies was
1861:
I am not familiar with Masorti movements outside of Israel but I do know that there is no relationship between Israeli Masorti and any form of Conservative Judaism. Israeli Masorti is not really a sect of Judaism unto itself. It defines Secular Israeli Jews who observe certain Jewish laws considered
1238:. In fact, no one can strictly "prove" that any particular group is "truly" Reform, or "truly" Orthodox, either! I have seen countless attacks on Orthodox groups and individuals by other Orthodox Jews; and the same within the Reform Jewish community. Rather, I am saying that we must describe the 826:
If Conservative Judaism is the conserving of what reform took out, then how could it be more accurate than the Orthodox? Conservative has and constantly does openly change things from the original tradition. After all the movement is only 100 yrs old or so. The orthodox tradition is over 3,000 yrs

Alright, I've expanded it, although I still need to add a section "In Other Countries" to cover the Conservative/Masorti communities outside of theUS/UK/Israel. I think we should delete the "Notable Figures" section. It's a sprawling trivia list, and most of the most important are mentioned in

If major organizations of Conservative rabbis have decided to not allow their members to perform intermarriages, it must be stated clearly which organization have decided it. If there is no such decision, but in practice Conservative rabbis do not do it, then the article must say so clearly:
1883:^ Please note that the above statement is a fraud, written by a troll. It is *not* from any member of the Masorti movement in Israel. It is totally irrational, someone claiming to be a Masorti Jew who hates Masorti Judaism? Obviously an unskilled Orthodox Jewish attempt at slander :-( 1887:
What is obvious is that you do not understand Judaism in Israel as it is clear that the writer was confusing Masorti (the name of the Conservative branch in Israel) with Masorati (meaning "traditional" or "traditionalist") the way of conducting Judaism of the majority in Israel.
