Reform Judaism views the Bible as "reflecting the primitive ideas of its own age" (Pittsburgh platform of 1885) and does not see Jewish law as binding.
During my lifetime I have seen Reform Judaism change 180°. They have reintroduced rituals and practices they once abandoned but none are mandatory. At one time they discarded most traditions and emphasized ethics in the spirit of the prophets. They currently allow each individual to decide what is meaningful and relevant to that person. Many Reform Jews are not well versed in Hebrew and Aramaic source documents and support popular secular causes and ideas but label them as tikkun olam (Hebrew for repairing the world).
My son in law Jackson and his friend David told me about this heroic story! It’s heartwarming that the greater Jewish community can come together and share the love.
One day we pray that he will come to God in faith by Jesus Christ that his soul may be saved. "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." Romans 10:1-3
We took my daughter’s (all or mostly Protestant) Girl Scout troop to this synagogue (at least I believe it was this one) when she was in grade school, and they were so warm and welcoming to us. What a lovely congregation. ❤ Edit: the Rabbi just used “warm and welcoming” to describe them, as well 😊 Welcome to Dallas, Rabbi!
I was recently invited to a profile Jewish funeral in London. I phoned a rabbi at the Finchley reform Synagogue in north London to find out how to behave, what to do and say; what not to do, etc. The welcome I got seems, in retrospect, to have been G _ d given; in that I, after such a brief encounter, I feel myself to be more Jewish than Church of England protestant. I am a very level headed older man and feel comfortable tuning in to LJS (youtube) on Saturday mornings. Very odd indeed.
@@flatarthur3161 Soon to be rabbi here. Op couldn't more incorrect. Torah is Hebrew for Instruction. The Torah is like an Instruction manual for life and by following it the best we can we can make the world a much better place. Now, I'm a Reformist Jew. We don't believe Hashem actually literally created The Torah, but he definitely did inspire its creation. Some of the old world laws simply don't apply to our modern way of life, but some very much do. Reformism is about bringing the word of The Lord into the 21st Century. Now I'm not saying OP is unintelligent, but simply that he is wrong imo on this one subject. Nothing in that book says anything good about those who challenged G-d. In fact "Thou Shall Not Tempt The Lord" is one of the core Mitzvahs that Moses brought down from Mount Siani.
Great to see this❣️✌🏿🤟🏼✡️ I was married at Emanu El, very active in TOFTY/NFTY {from Houston) ended up at Beth El Binah, the Jewish congregation that started in the AIDS wing of Parkland hospital, because I was tired of being the token poor, disabled Jew in other congregations. There was Laughter in the services😄❣️ Haven't been able to drive for 25+ years, but if I am ever mobile again I'd love to come to your services❣️🙏🏽👍🏽👏🏾😊
Let's pray for you to get off your keyboard for one. Also stop asking for others to pray for something that doesn't need praying. If anything it sounds like you are passing judgment which in a way this piece touches on. Weird how you missed that 🤔
Let's pray YOU DO TESHUVA for your sanctimoniously judging the heart of another person (who you probably don't even know except for your encounter with him/her here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serious question: assuming the rabbi is a practicing homosexual, what are his thoughts on Leviticus 18:22 ?

@@stephenfisher3721 Ah. Understand. Kind of. So, The Law, Torah, etc. isn't relevant? What are examples of obligatory precepts then?

Are you asking this as a Jew or a Christian? Both have different answers.
@@inYTbio_SiteLINKs2Verses_Bruv no as a christian: this passage shows that its sin in Gods eyes. Thats it
What does the Torah say about homosexuality ?
Demons
It’s completely forbidden. This man is going against he Torah.
Leviticus 20:13
It’s an abomination!
One mankind shall not sleep with another mankind.

No, this is completely assur
He does know that basically he will be living in sin until he divorces which is never, right?
He's not married
He’s from California, that explains a lot!
God loves us all regardless of anything noone is perfect and God loves us as such.
lmao the evangelicals seething in the comments

Just may be a first in Dallas. We have had a synogogue serving the LGBTQ community in San Francisco Sha'ar Zahav for 40 years 🌈🕎
A total disregard for the Torah absolutely sickening
Say what you want about him, but at the end of the day his God made him this way
Read Book of Levi. Do not come to.justify your specific desire.
Good to see Jewish People are standing with LGBTQ and Israel is supporting LGBTQ Rights 🏳️🌈 ✡️ 🇮🇱 😁
Jew are encouraged to challange G-d stop saying Leviticus Leviticus
Does it say that in any of the scriptures because I'm curious now?

God.
Stop censoring yourself, Jew.
What? How can mere fallible human beings like us challenge God's laws?
@@PhilipMarcYT It's considered disrespectful to text in such a Manor
and they claim to be God's chosen people?
Revelation 2:9 sums it up perfectly.

I applaud him for being courageous and giving us all wisdom to be loving and accepting. Thank you Rabbi. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This how u know these people r not the true israelites.
Israelites such as Abraham who never got into the holy land? lol many Israelites actually failed in the Bible so much… remember the golden ox? Yeah.
