I love how the american-reform-jewish childhood hasn’t really changed in the last 80 years

learning a lot about the evolution of reform judaism and how the conservative movement grew out of the tension between german jewish immigrants who wanted to assimilate as much as possible and the newer eastern european immigrants who were more observant and “visibly” jewish

soooo we’re gonna talk about jewish confederates but never acknowledge the blatantly obvious hypocrisy… ?
