and external, for this change. The Reform and Orthodox movements were
revitalized as each tapped into a broader current in the popular culture.
Orthodoxy paralleled the growth of evangelical Christianity—unapologetic,
unreformed, and unimpeded by liberal insecurities. Reform paralleled the secular
American embrace of radical autonomy---the individual got to choose what was
meaningful and, ultimately, what was good. Conservative Judaism seemed
"pareve"—conservative with a small c, worried about change, but also too timid to
assert its own core values to an increasingly assimilated community. In place of
ideology we offered peoplehood—the opportunity to tap into the sounds and
experiences that awakened nostalgia, rather than those that ignited passion. We
have suffered for our stodginess.
But this is beginning to change. Across the country, and even the world, our
mix of modernity and tradition retains a resilient hold. You can see that mix
infiltrating both the Reform and the Orthodox movements. The former are
upgrading their ritual offerings; the latter are experimenting with more inclusive
practices for women. Within our own congregations, there is a sense of
revitalization as new daavening styles are paired with exciting programs such as
our own SYNergy.
On the national level, Chancellor-elect Arnie Eisen of JTS is energizing
audiences of American Jews to think more deeply and boldly about what we have
to offer the nation and the world. Adat Shalom is an important player in this
dynamic. Innovative programming paired with talented lay and professional
leadership is providing a vital center for our Jewish community.
The recent decision of the Law Committee to include gay and lesbian Jews
in our movement with full dignity demonstrates our vibrant mixture of tradition
and change. Obviously there are some on the left and some on the right who are
unhappy with this decision. However, the center of our movement will emerge
stronger and more capable of reclaiming a leading role in American religion.
With confidence, intelligence and faith, we will find ways to strengthen the
Torah and inspire a new generation. We will bring dignity to all people, and
give glory to God.
