AFAIK, the ONLY Reform organization, from the tri-state area, to
participate, as a group, in the Salute to Israel parade in NYC.

Wrong again. IIRC, Jay already corrected you, noting that ARZA
participated. There's also an entire list of congregations with
Reform-sounding names, in addition to the *community clusters* that
included Reform congregations. Additionally, there were community day
schools, which would include R kids.

What do you mean by wrong again?

I meant that you had already made the same false allegation in another
thread, and been corrected there. Wrong the first time, wrong again.

And is you short term memory so poor that
you use "IIRC?"

I knew that you had been corrected before, and was fairly certain,but
not postive, that it was Jay who had done so. Did you really mean
that comment to be as nasty as it sounds?

(My posts arrive out of sequence because of hand
moderation.)

Meaning? Is that your way of apologizing for your error, and
explaining that you had not yet seen the correction? The list of
participants is easily available on the 'net, BTW.

Even if there were 2 or 3 more R orgs that were indeed there and that I
missed seeing, that is still miniscule compared to the numerous O and C
groups. Since R is the "majority" group in the USA, that is indeed a very
poor showing.

We didn't stay for the whole parade, but my impression is that the
bulk of the marchers are from the various local day schools. Other
than that, there really wasn't a whole lot of affiliation with any of
the movements, as far as I could see. I mean, are J-Date, J&R Music
World or Shop Rite (just to pull a couple of names off the list)
inherently O, C or R? What about various Ys and JCCs? The Jewish
Motorcycle Alliance? Birthright?

It may simply depend on what you're looking for. I mean, I could say
that we didn't see a lot of right wing O or black-hat type schools
marching ... but that could simply be because we didn't see the couple
of schools we were looking for (my son was trying to find a couple of
his friends who attend right-wing yeshivas; it turn out that their
schools didn't participate). And the people who attend those schools
could well have been marching with another group, or watching the
parade. We were watching the parade in the 70s; for all I know, the
60s were a sea of black hats.

Why does this need to be divisive?
