In addition, the cousins and their parents are not Orthodox. I don't think the family has had an Orthodox member in a century or more. Not even Conservadox or Modern Orthodox. The cousins and parents are largely Reform. The grandparents are Conservative. It would just be nice to see them offer the same support for her rites of passage as we have for theirs. Not even an apology or word of regret to soften her disappoinment. I can bet my life that we'd never hear the end of it if she skipped even one of their b'nai mitzvahs.[/quote]

I was raised Reform, I am now Conservative (would you consider me Conservadox?  I observe some degree of kashrut  but I also believe in ordaining gay rabbis) and my brother has always been Reform.  Once at a museum he was visibly uncomfortable with baroque paintings that had lots of images of bleeding jesus on the cross, so we quickly zipped over to abstract expressionists. I find this somewhat amusing.   Do not assume  people are assimilated because they are Reform.

Again I do not know why they did not send regrets - [b]perhaps they did not how to express what they were feeling, and were embarassed, and thought it best to say nothing.   Or maybe they have aspergers[/b]. Whatever.  [/quote]

Or maybe they are just rude and thoughtless.[/quote]
