My Mom grew up in the Conservative movement and was involved with Young Judaea. She believes Mitzvah is doing good in the world and giving to charity

ReplyDeleteMy dad was raised in the Reform movement. My mom was not raised with any religion, but her mother's family is culturally Jewish. They believe that a mitzvah is a good deed.

My dad went to a reform temple in Long Island in the 60's and 70's. Temple was about community, Isreal, and Bar Mitzvahs. He believes that a mitzvah is when you do a good deed for someone in need that you may not know. He believes it is a greater mitzvah to help someone of a different background race, creed, color, and class.
ReplyDeletemy mom grew up in a Conservative movement, but my dad grew up in a Reform movement.
ReplyDeleteMy mom says that the Reform movement was about how it made it easier to be a Jew because it wasn't so rigid. and my dad says it is a flexible less Conservative form of Judaism.
my mom says that Mitzvah means when you do something out of the ordinary for someone else. and my dad says Mizvah means doing a good deed.
my dad was a reform jewish person,and my mother was secular and then quaker, and then jewish, and then buhdist..my dad thinks mitsvah is doing something to help other people who need it, my mom thinks mitsvah is a deed.
