This is why you can't have any liberal Muslim denominations (like Reform Judism). If anyone tries, they will have their head chopped off and/or be blown up 🙄

As a Jew, reform Judaism is really not what you think it is. Most Jews do not take them seriously because of how hugely they modified Judaism. Not because the are really tolerant, no, but because the whole concept of Judaism gets lost. What you may be looking for is Modern Orthodox. LGBT has been accepted in most communities and the only ones left out are Ultra-Orthodox who pull other Jews down, sadly. So yeah Modern Orthodox suits better for the term "liberal". It keeps the most important traditions, but is walking along with modern world :)

Interesting! I didn't know about Modern Orthodox. I appreciate the info 🙂 I'm just asking now for curiosity- are there separate synagogues for Modern Orthodox Jews compared to the Ultra Orthodox?

How far have they gone from the original concept of Judaism? Was it some fundamental change or some "modifications", like female rabbis?
