Religiously, I feel more connected to the Conservative Movement; but socially, I am very conservative: against gay marriage.

I wish a Conservative Beit Knesset would be established where I live in Israel!

Does anyone know the name of the music which appears on the beginning and end ?

If not for the Masorti / Conservative movement here in PA, USA where I now live, my connection to Judaism would have ceased to exist and my daughter would never have one.
I personally am very grateful it exists since it offers the kind of pluralistic and inclusive Judaism I can accept.
BTW - It was dealing with the Rabbanut in Jerusalem that finally almost alienated me totally - Orthodox Rabbanut, that is: Our modern-day Pharasees.

Why is it necessary for nay sayers like DavidJasse to condemn everything that he doesn't agree with. Is this an inherent Jewish trait? There is nothing in the video that is offensive to even the most observant Orthodox Jew

Unfortunately, carping like this is an inherent *human* trait.

I was born and bred in the US Conservative Movement and have been active in the Israeli Masorti Movement for 20 years. I am very proud of our community and everything we have accomplished and continued to do. It was because of the traditional home I grew up in and the learning and encouragement I received in the Conservative Movement that I became Shomer Shabbat. My friends feel the same way. I invite everyone to come and check us out for yourself instead of basing opinions on what others say.

Conservative Judaism is a lie because "I grew conservative in the US... Most of my Jewish friends are intermarried."
Guess what! Many of those friends probably had observant (read: Orthodox) grandparents. Shall we therefore conclude that Orthodoxy is a failure?
Like so many talkbacks relating to non-Orthodox movements, David Jasse attacks.
Try finding the good in other Jews and in other people. There are many faces to the Torah and "Both these and these are the words of the living God."

Jewish Pluralism is lie. you're making a mockery of Judaism. Equality is a lie, all people are different.. men women cohen levi israel, it's like saying the pichter is like the catcher and the short stop... we focus on strengths and try not to make everyone the same. I grew up with the conservative movement in the US it was a big failure. Most of my Jewish friends are intermaiired and gone. this is a compromise, not the real thing!!

Look carefully. This is a distortion of the truth. The leaders do not let the followers educate themselves but rather interpret the tradition for it's ignorant followers. Many commandments are elimated and changed. Study closely you will discovered inconsistensies. this type of Judaism is only maybe 100 years old compared to over 3000 years.
