Conservative

     There has been much talk lately about the demise of the Conservative Jewish movement. Perhaps they are correct. Conservative Judaism as it once was is fading. Its fading but not exactly. Over the years Conservative Judaism has come to resemble the Reform Jewish movement. However , now there are other groups that are a lot like what Conservative Judaism really was, but with a different name and face. There are "partnership" or "egalitarian" minyans which may have a mechitzah but have men or women leading parts of the services to varying degrees. To me these types of minyanim scream Conservative Judaism.  I think that there will always be the spiral staircase from Orthodox Judaism and beyond. After those who have gone so far from Judaism have intermarried and have become Cultural Jews there will always be another group of those unhappy with the reigning frum establishment that will  form their own branches of Judaism. For better or for worse.
