Reform Zionist Community?

Basically, we live in a co-ed frat.

- We never attend Shabbat services.  Only twice in 4 months have we taken the effort to do something as a group.

- We very blatantly do not keep Kosher, going so far as to put ham and cheese together in the meat fridge

- We only say a blessing over meals every once in a while, and even then we almost always say the wrong one

- Only a very small minority of us actually consider ourselves Reform Jews

- We refuse to agree, or even discuss, Zionism, on the basis that everyone is allowed to have their own definition

- Netzer has a definition that excludes over half of the Shnatties on the basis that not every single one of us will make Aliyah

- We defend the fact that we waste paper in extreme excess by saying that we'll recycle it, which defeats the purpose of 'reduce, reuse, recycle' 

- We waste food every single day

- We blatantly ignore the rules of the place we live, coming up with clever ways to get around certain rules and sneak people and things in

- As 'inclusive' as we say we are, all beliefs end up excluding someone of the group

- There was just a suggestion to buy and bring in a forbidden item to the flat with the communal budget.  A few people aren't going to participate, so the decision to buy with the communal budget was shot down, but it's still being brought in

We take classes on the history of Judaism and Reform Judaism and Hebrew and one small aspect of Hadracha.  And I'm thankful for those opportunities.

But when it comes to a 'Reform Zionist community,' we're more of a co-ed frat.

DISCLAIMER: Not every single person takes part in every single act.  Not everybody can be blamed for everything, and maybe there are people who abstain from everything.  But this is what the community allows as a whole.
