Bill, the Reform Movement is the main representative of the most liberal wing of Jewish religious expression. It is made of up some percentage of Jews and some percentage of non-Jewish spouses of Jews and their children. It has more to do with Unitarianism or, these days, something rather antithetical to religion, than anything recognizable as Judaism before the 20th century.

And by the way, despite my origin in New Jersey, I spent many wondrous days in Manhattan. If you can manage it, do visit.

I’m there almost every day, Bill! — RDC

I was born and raised Catholic, so I’m a bit fuzzy on differences within Judaism. I do take some comfort in thinking that, whatever their differences, they’re not prone to running down my street trying to kill me. That doesn’t seem to be a Jewish thing.

I grew up in Jersey City, across the Hudson from Manhattan. Jews figure prominently there, but somehow I never felt endangered. Regrettably, they tend to be Communist, but nonviolent, I’ll give them that.
