cynical: you talk of a “changing relationship”…but essentially that’s just how you justify your watered down version of judaism. that’s not even why conservative judaism was started….here’s the thing. you make allowances here and there to prevent the complete collapse of judaism…but that doesnt seem to be working because your numbers are dwindling. you look through the torah (shebichsav and ball peh) for loopholes that you can twist to suit your purposes and you completely disregard hashkafah in your interpretations. after all, how can you possibly allow for propoer hashkafah if your hashkafah is to disregard the mesorah of thousands of years from sinai.
my rav was a talmid muvhak of rav moshe feinstien and has now been a posek for many years. i hold more store in him than i do in you.
let me ask you a question cynical…do you believe that all jews should be conservative (or at least your flavour of conservative whatever that may be)? or do you acknowledge that orthodox judaism is the correct way of life and yours is just a poor attempt at compromise?
when you perform conversions, are they required to accept all the mitzvos completely and unequivocally according to the orthodox tradition?
