Thanks for listening. This takkanah was initiated by Masorti Rabbi Michael Graetz and has now been signed by over 140 other Rabbis from a range of Orthodox and liberal orientations. The text and note by R. Graetz is followed by his explanation of the history of Takkanot in general and of the need for this particular one now. Aside from its importance in addressing the current crisis of Jewish meaning, this material is good Torah-study. Shabbat shalom, Arthur.
Most people do pray.
Jewish prayers are beautiful. Some are having problems with family. Some with years of ingrained falsehoods. Few will convert without the opportunity to explore. Judaism is a strange and unknown universe to them.
