81. Reform Judaism was created partly to make Judaism more compatible with American culture
In other words, we teach religious school on Sundays because that's what the Christians do. Another one of these creations is Chanukah. It was a relatively insignificant holiday until American Jews decided that they wanted to celebrate it in a similar manner than American Christians celebrate Christmas.
