Why does liberal Judaism not exist in the ex-Orthodox community?
I'm not saying it doesn't exist for individuals- but those individuals who choose it generally aren't, or don't remain part of the ex-Orthodox community. Why not?
This is one of the reason I don't hang there any more- I'm a liberal Jew and I just don't fit in.
Liberal Judaism barely even comes up for discussion. ( examples )
One exception is On Her Own . But in general people act like it doesn't even exist, that there are people and institutions that are perfectly cool with you not believing in Torah but being interested in Judaism, even passionate, and being observant at varying levels, (some very observant). Granted those people are a minority but still they do exist with educational and communal institutions. And being aware of there existence doesn't mean you have to be them, just give them their respectful due.
