I have a real problem with this name. It should be North America. Thanks. A Sniper
I have a problem with this name too -- it should be the U.S., as the article is about Reform Judaism in that country and not that of either of the other North American countries, Canada or Mexico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.228.220 ( talk) 16:50, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

The article states, "a minority of Reform rabbis and laity have come to affirm various beliefs including theism and deism." How is theism different from monotheism in the context of Judaism? Dynzmoar ( talk) 17:23, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Although the ACJ is an interesting footnote to the history of the Reform movement in North America (despite it being US-centered), without proper references it would appear POV to include information on it within the body of the article. Using weasel words (small but vocal) isn't helpful, either. Best, A Sniper ( talk) 00:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
It seems odd that the only reference to this is an external link pointing to a position statement quoted on a newsgroup. In Reform Judaism women have taken more active roles, including as rabbis, and there have been numerous other changes related to how they participate in worship. Surely such developments deserve discussion in the main part of the article.-- Parkwells ( talk) 14:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

One, why is theology before history in this article? In other types of Judaism history comes before anything else. Just wondering... Also, in terms of numbers, how can there be about 5 million Jews in USA, with at least 1.5 million being Reform and it being the largest denomination? I do think it is the largest, and fastest growing, but how do we account for the others? Jim Steele ( talk) 20:52, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

50% of all Jews do NOT intermarry. That is ONLY true in Reform Judaism. It is about 20% in Conservative Judaism, and farless than 10% in all forms of Orthodoxy. For secular and Reform jews the numbers are over 50%. You may not like that, but that is what all the studies show. RK ( talk) 13:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I added a link to the more general "Confirmation" article, for more details on Reform Judaism and the development of confirmation. I added some material from the public domain Jewish Encyclopedia.
User:WalkerThrough has been adding lines to the Bible article asserting that it is the revealed word of God (fact). The section on the Hebrew Bible stated that some Jews believe that God revealed all the commandments at Sinai, and other Jews think they were revealed during the wanderings in the desert (no sources). I find this a little off, but certain, not all Jews, not all rabbis, hold to just these two views. I think it excludes the views of most reform Rabbis and I added that some scholars believe that the laws were composed at later times in Jewish history. WalkerThrough deleted this as Original Research here. I restored it with a couple of citations, but now Walker Through is calling me an unbeliever and that Jesus is the truth. I hope that better informed watchers of this page might keep an eye on this as I do not wish to enter a revert war. I would also ask watchers of this page to look at the last section on the talk page, and, if you have something constructive to add, consider it. Slrubenstein | Talk 17:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
