This leads me to wonder how much any given Jew even knows about the beliefs of Jews from other denominations. Can you provide your experiences with these other denominations? Can you tell me which beliefs and practices from these denominations offend you the most? This can go in either direction: you might be an Orthodox Jew who feels that Reform Jews are way too slack in their observance of tradition. Else, you might be a Reform Jew who thinks there is something repugnant about the beliefs of Orthodox Jews. Still, you might be a mainstream Orthodox Jew who is offended by something the Hasidim or Haredi Jews believe. Tell me why you reject those to the left or to the right of you.
