- No, it isn't. There's a difference between the official view of the
- movement, and the practices of some of those involved in the movement.
- Reform Judaism does not allow Reform Rabbi's to officiate at mixed
- marriages; however it is also the policy of the Reform organizations
- to not censure or expell members for disagreement with the official
- policy of the movement.
-
- A Reform Rabbi who officiates at a mixed marriage is still a Reform
- Rabbi, but they do *not* have the approval of the Reform movement.
