As the founder of organizations that advocate for interfaith families Jewish engagement, I heard the voices of interfaith couples who wanted to feel that they could belong in Jewish settings and were discouraged by policies and statements that demeaned their relationships. I have shared papers with the administrators stating their caseand privately lobbied HUC faculty members and administrators to adopt a policy based on the inclusion that liberal Judaism needs to thrive in a future that is already here

Responding to the news that the High Court of Justice is set to rule this morning on a petition requiring the immediate military conscription of previously exempt yeshiva students, senior United Torah Judaism lawmaker Moshe Gafni preemptively slams the judicial system for anti-Haredi bias.

That decision was not surprising, given the growing tendency of the Reform movement to prioritize universalism over peoplehood and the needs of the individual over those of the larger community.
