- Ah, but Keith. The Jews (Orthodox) are told by their religion to stay

- Bzzzt!
-
- First of all, according to the bible, a Jew is not permitted to marry
- a non-Jew. There is nothing which says "stay separate from the
- gentiles".
-
- Conservative Judaism is actually the middle ground between Orthodoxy
- and Reformed Judaism. The Conservative movement within Judaism
- started as a reaction to the Reformed. Many wanted to keep the rules
- and traditions which Reformed Judaism discarded, but to modernize --
- especially vis-a-vis the roles taken by women.
-
- One of the rules which the Reformed dropped was the prohibition on
- intermarriage.
-
- I am nominally a conservative Jew (I actually belong to a congregation
- which sits on the fence between Orthodoxy and Conservatism). But in
- practice and belief, I adhere to my own personal interpretation of
- Judaism, which is pretty unique...
-
- Also note that there are subgroupings in these major headings. For
- instance, the Hassidim are a sub-group within the orthodox, and
- Lubavich is a sub-group within the Hassidim.
-
- Many people out there seem to get confused about all this. It looks
- like this:

- I hope that this clears things up a bit...
