I think what you are calling "New Renaissance Judaism" is simular to the
Havora movement (or something close to that spelling). A Havora group is
a group of people who get together for various celebrations, shabbat
services and prehaps dinner afterwards; outside of a formal synagouge
setting.

Although I personally do not belong to one, I feel that this is the type of
"Jewish Experience"  that I want.  Not to offend any rabbi's out there but I
an sick and tired of just being a observer during services, I want to
participate and learn. These new movements weather or not they are sponsored
by an organized movement or not (ie. reform) offer just that.

Enough said for now....Any comments?
