Ultra-Orthodox MK claims Reform Jews ‘counterfeiting Judaism’

United Torah Judaism MK Menachem Eliezer Mozes accuses Reform Jews of “counterfeiting Judaism” and inventing their own traditions not in line with Jewish law.

“This is Judaism? I suggest you please open on the internet [and] Google ‘bark mitzvah,'” he says, referring to the practice among some Jews of holding coming-of-age ceremonies for their canines.

“Look at what is happening. Reform Jews are having bar mitzvahs for dogs in the US,” the ultra-Orthodox lawmaker says in an interview with Army Radio.
