To answer your first question. Generally speaking, I think that many conservative jews are indeed jewish, because they have stronger identity with Judaism that the reform movement. I don’t want to lump all conservative people together or all reform people together, or the two groups together because there are exceptions.
I think that the conservative movement and the reform movement are both wrong. You can’t say that one is wronger than the other because this is black and white halacha (jewish law). You are either wrong or right. There is no in between state or justifications allowed.
To cynical – I’m sure you can sense the frustration on this forum. Orthodox Jews just don’t understand how Jews in 19th century Germany could decide that the truest religion in the world that had been practiced the same way for 1500+ years could be considered wrong and irrelevant to being a Jew. These people wanted a Jewish culture, without a mention of God. And sadly, they succeeded to an extent by mere means of justification. They twisted our precious heritage and turned it into watered down soup. And people went after them – there was a tremendous urge to follow them. The conservative and reform today are innocent victims of their parent’s missteps on the wrong path. We call them “babies that were captured” – children that were taken during war and never knew their parent’s way of life. It is just so frustrating and saddening and maddening that something like this could happen.
