Rabbi Michael Graetz offers a provocative suggestion: Masorti must form a political party. This is a bad idea on two counts: first, it would put the Masorti movement into the sick bed of political parties in Israel—political institutions whose existential crisis is a major component of the dysfunctions of the Israeli political system; and second, it would put the Masorti movement firmly in the camp of party-politicized religion. The Masorti movement should not play into the establishment of religion in Israel that has so catastrophically compromised the well-being of the Jewish faith in this country.
