למה תנועת הרפורמה לא המריאה ביהדות צפון אפריקה?
- כי לא היה צורך. קיבלו כל יהודי בחום, גם אם לא שומר מצוות, ולא הרחיקו. #הסיפור_היהודי_המלא — Naftali Bennett בנט (@naftalibennett) July 11, 2016
Minister Naftali Bennet is saying that the reason the Reform Movement never took off in the Jewish communities of North Africa is because there was no need for the Reform as in these communities they accepted every Jew warmly even if they did not keep the mitzvos, and they did not push people away. Bennet tags this as "the entire Jewish story".
I am no expert in these matters, but it seems kind of too simplistic to be accurate. What do you think? Does he have a point?
