Zone1 Would studying from a Reform Rabbi genuinely hurt ones understanding of Judaism?

[shimon]

My study has its presentational roots from Orthodox Rabbis. I am curious if there is any value in hearing from any Rabbis from the Reform movement, which is the largest growing sect of Judaism in North America apparently? Rabbi Breitowitz for my studying, outside of books, has been a treasure as he is from America (once had a promising career in law but I believe he now resides in Israel) and he is very well read on the Torah and Judaism theology. So well educated in fact, that he takes rapid fire questions from students in what I presume is his Yeshiva while being so educated that he will often throw in varying opinions, "some (insert Jewish community or person) believe _______", on such and such a subject. His deliver is also very relaxed and humble. That said, from the OP subject, are there any Reform Rabbi one could honestly learn from, or would it be a poor representation to be exposed to.and it's best to learn from the Orthodox? Even any prominent Conservatives worthwhile.learning from or would they just ruin my learning? Thank you for your time.

I don’t really see a problem with you looking at all aspects of Judaism and find the one that fits you best.. There are advantages and disadvantages to each group and it depends if you find a learned reform Rabbi who appeals to you and teachs you in a way that helps you on your journey.. Good luck . In my opinion learning and insight can be found at all levels after all it doesn’t make sense as a child to go directly to univercity or high school one must put in the time to learn the basics in kindergarten and the grade schools before one can get to the higher levels…

Which one teaches tolerance of different religious beliefs?

on what information are you basing your opinion that some senior Jewish leaders were
complicit in the prosecution of Jesus?

what is your information for how many were a part of the conspiracy you try to disclaim ...

Judas negotiated with the chief priests and elders to betray Jesus for a sum of 30 pieces of silver ...

and who's silver was used for their devious plot.

the "chief priests" at that time were ROMAN APPOINTEES ----Sadducees in the pocket of
DA CAESAR octavian augustus. I thought you read the book

You mean the New Testament? Yes

Now I stick to the Tanakh and Talmud

The Gospels are the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are percipient historical accounts. Why ignore them?

I've read them. I don't follow them. I follow Moses and Abraham.

So you pick and choose historical sources based based on your religious beliefs?

Based on which religious I was guided to. Acts instead of thoughts. No more turning the other cheek while still being an honourable and principled man.
