How do you switch from Orthodox to Reform Judaism?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Answer:

It's difficult at first, because of "culture shock" but it can be done:

1. Wait until you're 18 to tell your Orthodox Jewish parents.

2. Go to Jewish Family Services for counseling and ask them to help you find a family-friendly Reform Synagogue in your area.

3. If you're uncomfortable buying non-kosher food, don't worry - Reform Jews eat kosher foods, too.
