Yes Stephen
I think you are right on both counts!...<br />Yes Stephen<br />I think you are right on both counts! The atrocious and non halachic way the Chief Rabbis and Beth Din treated Louis was indeed a scandal and paved the way for the Masorti movement and the current pettiness does indeed prevent a significant number of possible returnees from making the change.<br />And I agree that although there is much to admire in the Masorti movement and Rabbi Wittenberg, it has allowed itself to be drawn further and further away.<br />Still one goes to where one feels most comfortable!<br /><br />Shabbat Shalom Rabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-10281362221386268922016-12-04T16:35:37.330-05:002016-12-04T16:35:37.330-05:00Having been a Masorti Member for a number of years...Having been a Masorti Member for a number of years, however felt recently that movement had lost its way, and was considering joining my local United Shul.<br /><br /><br />However reading of this incedent, makes me feel inclined to stay put. I am reminded of how the Late Rabbi Louis Jacobs was denied an Aliyah on the occasion of his Grandsons Weeding. <br /><br /><br />Were it not for these kind of polices it is unlickly Masorti would have ever existed in the first place.<br /><br />Steven in UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
