Orthodox Criticism
While Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism regard Reform Jews who are matrilineally descended as Jews, they do not recognize people who are Jewish by Reform conversions nor Reform's acceptance of patrilineal descent of Jewish children. A growing number of Reform Jews are not Jewish according to traditional halakha.

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox and/or criticism:
“If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
