[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Christians (plain vanilla Protestants, not Evangelicals) and we attend church on a weekly basis.  We have many Jewish friends who are devout in observing Jewish Holy Days, yet they rarely go to Shabbat services otherwise (though they do, of course, attend many services in conjunction with Bar/Bat Mitzvahs).  Is this generally true of Jews or is it just the folks we know?

Yeah, but many of your brethren are C and E Christians, as in observe Christmas and Easter (only). So is it surprising that there are many R and Y Jews?[/quote]

Yes, of course there are many C&E Christians.  In fact, I'll will never forget the rector at our church saying at the conclusion of a packed Christmas Eve service, "And, if you enjoyed this story about this little baby being born unto us, you might like to come back and hear what happened when he grew up -- but before he died and was resurrected."  So, no I'm not surprised that there are more Jews who attend temple only on High Holy Days, but I don't know a single Jewish family who goes to temple on a regular basis.  Most of these folks are Reform Jews -- is that the reason?      [/quote]
