Page "Masorti" Paragraph 8

The Masorti movement in Israel adopts positions on subjects of Jewish Law independent of the Conservative movement in the United States, and the two movements sometimes take different positions.

The Masorti movement is sometimes somewhat more traditional than the U. S. Conservative movement and has not accepted a number of the U. S. movement's leniencies.

For example, the Masorti movement in Israel rejected a decision by the Conservative movement in the United States permitting Jews living far from synagogues to drive to synagogue on Shabbat.
