Good news, dudes: Reform Jewish leaders in many communities report that females outnumber males as much as 2-to-1 in areas ranging from summer camp to synagogue leadership, so your chances for finding a hot date after shul are pretty high. However, there’s concern that men are feeling abandoned by religion.
“Men just don’t know where they fit in,” said Doug Barden, executive director of the Reform movement’s North American Federation of Temple Brotherhoods. “They’re kind of betwixt and between.”
Sandwiched betwixt two cuties doesn’t seem like something any male we know would complain about, but some are blaming it on the feminist flavor of Reform Judaism. Programming has headed into “touchy-feely” and discussion-based activities in past decades, and leaders plan to attract more males with team-building and sports.
C’mon guys, bring it back home. And bring your bros.
