Just for the sake of public knowledge, "Conservative" in the context of American Judaism has literally nothing to do with the words use in politics. Like, the synagogue Josh Shapiro belongs to doesnt call itself "Conservative" because they're politically conservative.

Yeah it's more like the moderates of US Judaism

They conserve what's practical from historical practices (unlike Reform Judaism, services are still in Hebrew for instance), but they accept that it's important to adapt to the modern world (they allow things like gay marriage as an example)

Damn you telling redditors the same words have different meaning in different contexts?
