Et Tu Reform Movement?................from Dan Friedman

One thing led to another today, and I found myself searching for the "Reform movement's" position on Obama's Iran deal. It took me awhile to find that they don't have an official position on Obama's Iran deal. Lots of high-toned blah, blah and serious hedging, but nothing you can pin your hat on.
 
My guess is Judaism's largest sect is waiting to see which way the radioactive wind is blowing before they take a public stand. Not surprising since the Reform's Pope, Rick Jacobs, is a charter member of J Street and he's in no rush to tip his hand. Of course, by the time he does it won't matter. The damage will have already been done. Must be a sign that Jacobs' paying customers are deeply divided. Not everyone in his parish wants to see a nuclear Iran - or the vaporization of their grandchildren for that matter. Heck, that’s not a “Jewish value.”
