Recently, Reform jewry has moved sharply to the right. Their numbers were dropping dramatically and they realized it was because they had cast out just about every tradition and were left with nothingness. It isn't so much the Orthodox who are looked upon as 'far out there' but the Hasidim who are for the most part ignored and ridiculed by most of the other jewish groups. They received practically no support during the Dinkins era 'pogrum'.

Reformed Jewery in America is dying, primarily as a result interfaith marriages.....in the Northeast, it's fashionable only for the big bar or bat mitzvah, and twice a year on the high holy days..any other times, the parking lots in the temples can be used for roller blading...
