[quote=Anonymous]I think talking to some local clergy and shopping around for a synagogue that will 'feel' right could really help. I lot of people I know (my husband included) who grew up conservative have similar thoughts. I grew up Reform and really loved my experience as a kid - learning about religion taught me about philosophy and gave me a reference point to help put the world into context - and the flexibility to disregard what I didn't agree with or care for. When we were looking for our kids, we went for convenience mostly, but I also wanted to join a synagogue that's open to all sorts of families. When I heard from several non-Jewish partners that they love the synagogue I felt much better about the choice (even though we're both Jewish - I want my kids to grow up someplace where they'll always feel like they have a spiritual home, no matter who they fall in love with some day). I don't think the conservative movement is there yet fully - and Reform is more embracing of different ideologies, backgrounds - and honestly I think more open to the fun and joy that should be part and parcel of celebrating 3000 years of tradition.[/quote]
