WHAT IS REFORM JUDAISM?\"\"<\/h6>\n

Throughout history, Jews have remained firmly rooted in Jewish tradition, even as they learned much from their encounters with other cultures. Nevertheless, since its earliest days, Reform Judaism has asserted that a Judaism frozen in time is an heirloom, not a living fountain. We proudly consider ourselves a Union for Reform Judaism temple in Denton County TX.<\/p>\n

RESOLUTIONS<\/h6>\n

The positions of the Reform Movement are based primarily on two sources: Resolutions adopted by the Union for Reform Judaism, and resolutions adopted by the Central Conference of American Rabbis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
