Liberalism to them is the ONLY Jewish priority -- it is the very definition of Judaism. Once a critical mass of intelligent Reform Jews gets around to reading Milton Friedman, the whole Reform movement is done for. “It seems the Reform movement put liberalism ahead of not only Jewish priorities….”

Liberalism to them is the ONLY Jewish priority — it is the very definition of Judaism.

Once a critical mass of intelligent Reform Jews gets around to reading Milton Friedman, the whole Reform movement is done for.

Reform does not define the Jewish People as the Orthodox do. Their agenda is directed at a different constituency, their “converts” and the unaffiliated. By their lights, their growth is geometric, with unlimited potential. Every intermarriage produces 2 potential reform members. They are not about to abandon their belief systems.
