Wellstone question
I'm doing something related to the late senator who I display in my avitar and I have a question about him. Does anybody know what type of synogauge he belonged to, by that I mean, reform, conservative, or orthodox. Also, did he ever make any statements publicly about whether he kept kosher or not?

isn't reform the liberal denomination in Judaism? I think he would've been Reform.

5. Didn't she attend temple with him? It'd have to be reform, then.

4. I'd have a hard time thinking he wasn't reform.
Clearly, he wasn't orthodox. He may have been reconstructionist, though. I doubt he was conservative - I'd be amazed if he didn't sit with his wife.

7. I don't recall seeing much written about it. I can't remeber if anything
was in the book he wrote "Conscience of a Liberal". I don't think so though.

6. It wouldn't matter to me one bit.He was, in my mind, one of our great
senators.I think we will continue to pay a great price for his loss.
