    This is a congregation where the warm embrace of community…read moretouches everyone - no matter how old, no matter from where. Simply no matter. Across the life cycle and in all the nooks and crannies in between, there is a divine sense of acceptance, observance, and joy.

    I attended Shabbat Friday night services two weeks ago, as an out of town visitor, only to be…read morestruck by the hostility from the Bimah, attacking anyone that believes (as I do) that men cannot be women, and women cannot be men. The words of the junior Rabbi were "there is a war on Transgenders." In fact, the war is not on Transgenders, but rather by Transgenders on women and girls, our daughters and mothers. That weekend, I wrote an email to the Rabbis, and received a hostile response, this time attacking me personally, from the Senior Rabbi. I've been to many Shabbat services at many synagogues, and I've never experienced anything like this. These Rabbis' beliefs are not Torah based, nor rooted in the Talmud or science, yet the captive audience at a family service (i.e. children and their parents) of all places, that were there to pray on Shabbat, was force fed their alternate universe viewpoints. antithetical to Judaism and biology itself. And as I experienced it, Judea Reform is a radical outpost of non-Jewish ideas, marked by hostility towards anyone that has read and believes in the Torah; as in Bereshit (Genesis), it clearly is not a man that created man (Adam) and woman (Eve), but rather, G-d; and thus, for the biological women in our lives, Judea reform is not a place of comfort, sanctity and intellectual (nor biblical) honesty. The biological women of the Torah, including the matriarchs, Sarah, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel, would turn over in their graves if they were forced to sit in silence as the Rabbis of Judea Reform preached non-sense.
