I converted via the Reform movement when I was 34 back in 2017. Have been to Israel only once & hope to live there someday. Thank God for the Reform movement!
There are people who convert or are raised in the Reform tradition, and decide to convert/observe Conservative or Orthodox, but in many places in the world that are "Jewishness deserts" Reform is a welcoming harbor.
I think it is, but one thing is to be affiliated to an orthodox synagogue and something else is to live as an orthodox Jew. Most people who pray in orthodox synagogues around the world I believe are not very religious, but they won't pray in nonorthodox synagogues. If you want to convert and be accepted by most communities you need to go through an orthodox conversion. If you don´t care about it maybe conservative or reform may be options for you. In Israel is an issue, as most identify themselves with the orthodox branch@@Nikolai9510
נשמע מאד יפה, מאד מושך, מאד מפתה, כמו כל שקר... אם אפשר להיות יהודי בכל דרך, אז גם לא צריך גיור, זה לא מוסיף כלום. הומוסקסואליות היא דבר אסור בתורה, ומי שיספר לכם את ההפך משקר לכם.
@@lv4235 ממש לא. הכל צריך לקרות תחת אותה התורה. רפורמים הם לא יהודים,והם עשו לעצמם גיור כדעת עצמן. אם הם רוצים להיות יהודים הם צריכים להתגייר כהלכה ולחיות כהלכה,נקודה. כל השאר זה סיפורי סבתא.
That's actually really ignorant. Reform is known for building bridges between jews and non jews. They welcome mix faith couples, same sex couples, etc. They do a lot of charity work within the community and outside aswell. They pray, celebrate holidays, it's just the laws they are flexible with in terms of what's practical. Like driving on shabbat. etc. Conservatives, I would say, are in the middle. They do a lot of charity within the community, but they follow the laws more closely. Orthodox is basically fully observant. They follow all laws and keep Kosher. They pray many times a day and do blessings throughout most of the day. Some sects keep them selves separate from the outside world so they can fully focus on serving g-d. Orthodox also preserves tradition and customs. Many cross over, for example, some were born in to a Orthodox Jewish family, but their veiws in line more with Reform, so they go to a Reform shul. The point is that a jew is a jew. They all bring something to the table. They all have value.
@@Ms.HGL. If something is great it is worth having to work hard for it. That is NOT reform. Reform is for the lazy. You say they do good? They also are doing BAD with heir leftist views and support for haters of actual real Jews. How many reformniks are Zionists? If you re not a Zionist, you are NOT a Jew ... period.

Are the conservative and reform movemements bigger in numbers than orthodox?
Not in Israel and most of the world outside of the United States. The majority of religious Jews are Orthodox community.
@@SephardiMx so worldwide youd say orthodox is bigger in numbers?

No, because 87% of American Jews are not Orthodox.@@Nikolai9510
@@Nikolai9510in the US the Majority is Reform and the minority is Orthodox. In Israel, its the opposite.
הגיור הרפורמה יש בו הרבה הבנה ותבונה הדת שלנו מיושנת מאוד לפי דעתי דעתי צריכה להיות מודרנית ורלוונטית לתקופה שבה אנחנו חיים כשאנחנו חיים אנחנו חיים

That's funny seeing as there are so many gays living happily in Israel.
Mabey they are but they are NOT living according to the laws of Judaism ! @@joannegreenhowe3380
Homosexuality isn’t forbidden in the Torah. Only certain sexual acts.
רפורמים הם לא יהודים כהלכה,"גיור" דרכם הוא לא גיור כהלכה,אז אם אתם באמת רוצים להצטרף לעם היהודי אתם צריכים לעשות גיור דרך הרבנות.
לא רק הרבנות כי אין להם את המונופולי על פי הלכה . יש גם בית דין פרטי כמו בני ברק גם אורטודוקסי
every regognized movement (orthodox, conservative, reform) has its own beth din.
@@lv4235 ממש לא.
הכל צריך לקרות תחת אותה התורה.
רפורמים הם לא יהודים,והם עשו לעצמם גיור כדעת עצמן.

Reform & Conservative are just as valid as the orthodox.
Watered down Judaism or Judaism out of convenience.
