These conservatives are not conservative.
In the end, I believe only Orthodox will survive, and rightfully so.
Why not go all the way and be a Unitarian. Then you can believe in everything. Or nothing.
The Jews once abandoned God, and in 70 A.D. "no stone was left standing upon another." They'd do best to revere their Torah, not revise it.
All they need now is the golden calf and it will be party party party. Meanwhile back orders for asbestos lined umbrellas are going through the roof.
Hmm. Wonder if God gets a vote?
What the hell--let's make the Ten Commandments the Ten Optional Behaviors.
Big tent thinking, you know.
Conservative is as conservative does. So, now they want to be the "Big Tent" party of Rabbis.
Oy!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.............
But the other three answers argue for a reinterpretation of that prohibition,
I can hardly wait to see the tortured logic used to reinterpret this bit of Scripture.
It's not ambiguous in the least.
Paul addressed the issue of women in Romans 1:26 (KJV), "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:".
So now there is a loose-leaf edition of the Torah?
Yes Yes, by all means appeal to the younger people... Hell with God's word, just make sure you appeal to the younger people. Moronic... absolutely Moronic.
I have to say, I would be inclined to add this to my collection of inaptly phrased headlines.
How would Taranto caption it?
What, they didn't like it the first time?
Very bad headline.
I am certain that what two (or more) homosexuals do is not sex by any means. There really is no such thing as "gay" sex. Nothing is begat from gay "sex" other than chronic disease and eventually death. Call it what it really is -- sodomy, an dirty, unsafe practice. But it would sound rather contradictory to have a group of rabbis reconsidering gay sodomy. So it almost seems as though the question of legitimacy is a foregone conclusion. I'm sure we'll soon be treated to stories in the MSM about how brave the rabbis all were in their decision to legitimize homosexuality in the Jewish faith. I gonna be sick.
Proselytizing for the Democrat Party in the middle of an article about Judaism? Disgusting and contemptible.
Sigh - getting really, really tired of people who pretend to be religious believers and yet reject the very foundation of religion.
If people are going to reject the very scriptures and teachings that are the foundation of their respective religions (and funny thing, homosexual acts are condemned in every religion!), they should just quit pretending and either start their own group or just join the Democrat party.
Will they have a delegation from Sodom and Gomorrah, to describe for them the consequences of the last time this was tried?
Once again, a Catholic publication projects its own problem onto Judaism by holding up one of the more libertine Jewish movements on the Sabbath (when Jews won't argue online).
How typically Roman...
