Hey, did you know the Reform Jewish movement (including the Conservative and Reconstructionist sects) was consciously patterned their new religion on Lutheran churches?

The liberal Jewish sects are basically liberal Protestants who don't have crosses on the wall and who never mention Jesus. Which isn't that big a stretch for the most liberal churches.

Sacred Space

Since the foundation of the New Temple Association, Reform synagogues have featured radical changes to Jewish worship, such as organ music and the use of clerical gowns by rabbi and cantor. The architecture of the early Reform Temples deliberately emulated that of Catholic cathedrals, while their interiors were often modeled after those of Lutheran churches.

Rites and Ceremonies

Except for circumcision, which was hotly debated among the founders of the Reform Movement but finally maintained, Reform Judaism initially dispensed with almost all traditional Jewish rituals. Today, however, many have been re-claimed though they have not been established as mandatory and binding on all Reform Jews.

Worship and Devotion in Dialy Life

The traditional Hebrew liturgy of the Sabbath services was drastically shortened and rendered almost entirely into non-Jewish vernaculars, and all references to the Jewish hope for a return to Zion were eliminated. Reform congregations do not hold daily services, and most Reform Jews limit their practice of Judaism to the Sabbath and major festivals.
