According to the Union of Reform Judaism, " Reform Judaism affirms my right, our right, to make those kinds of choices." That is, choices relating to Torah and Talmud. Thus, " Each aspect worked for some Jews, once upon a time, somewhere in our history. Each, therefore, has the potential to open up holiness for people in our time as well, and for me personally. However, each does not have equal claim on us, on me. Some (the agricultural laws, for instance) are no longer possible to observe. Others (the sacrificial laws, for instance) come from a social context so foreign to our own that it would be impossible to conceive modern people finding holiness in their revival." Therefore, some Reform Jews do not keep kosher due to that they are not "finding holiness in their revival" in doing so.

Do reform jews eat pork?

All Jews have the same Torah, which contains the basic laws of keeping kosher. Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud. Torah-study is seen as very important (Deuteronomy 5:1); and the modern world is seen as subservient to the Torah (Talmud, Nedarim 32a), not the other way around.Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree.See also:Why do some Jews not keep kosher?How do you keep kosher?
