Traditional Vs. Reform

From JewishJokes.net, which weve been eagerly awaiting after months of “coming soon” messages:

Traditional: Farm animal must be killed by ritual slaughterer using a sharply honed knife that must not have a single nick on its blade.
Reform: Farm animal must be told that it has the right to an attorney.
Traditional: Will not combine meat with milk.
Reform: Will not combine meat with chocolate milk.
Traditional: One set of dishes for meat, another set for dairy.
Reform: One set of dishes exclusively for cheeseburgers.
Traditional: Hire “shabbos goy” to perform religiously prohibited tasks.
Reform: Hire “Orthodox Jew” to perform religiously required tasks.
Traditional: Try to concentrate on prayers, achieve sense of being in the presence of the divine.
Reform: Try to figure out when to stand up, when to sit down, and what page everyone is on.
Traditional: Women required to sit in synagogue balcony, apart from men.
Reform: Women and men sit together, davening suggestively.

Traditional: Strong disapproval of women rabbis.
Reform: Strong disapproval of topless women rabbis.

Here’s our own addition:
Traditional: Observe Shabbat by refraining from such acts as driving and turning on lights.
Reform: Observe Shabbat by driving to the movies and refusing to check e-mail.
Shabbat Shalom!
