About This Page
[edit]The entries below are the output of a grammar bot, The "Gremlin", and are candidates for grammar improvement. As you may discover, the bot currently has trouble distinguishing between abbreviations such as "Dr." and the ends of sentences. This causes some erroneous results. Another bug is the misinterpretation of Unicode characters. In order to keep the size of the results reasonable the Gremlin will only analyze the Main_Page and any page linked to from the main page.
The italicized characters following many words classify which part of speech the Gremlin assumed. The main classifications are n,v,and a for noun, verb, and adjective. Also indicated on an as needed basis are e,g,p,t, and s or p for adverb, gerund, preposition, title, and singluar or plural.
The grammar engine used is the link grammar system from Carnegie Mellon university.

Reconstructionist_Judaism
[edit]old:
- Reconstructionist Judaism is a denomination of Judaism characterized by:
- the belief that an individual's personal autonomy generally overrides traditional Jewish law and custom, yet also holding that one's practices must take into account communal consensus. This leads to a somewhat more traditional set of observances than seen in Reform Judaism.
- a positive attitude toward modern culture.
- the belief that traditional rabbinic modes of study, as well as modern scholarship and critical text study, are both valid ways to learn about and from Jewish religious texts.
- a non-fundamentalist method of teaching about Jewish principles of faith, along with the belief that no Jew needs to accept all, or any, principles of faith.
- the rejection of the belief that the Jews are a chosen people, as well as the rejection of all miracles and theism.
