People rightly speak of today as a "golden age" for Judaism in America, yet the two largest denominations, Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism, both relatively liberal, are shrinking. The Conservatives, who accounted for more than half of synagogue-affiliated Jews only a few decades ago, do not bother to deny it. An atmosphere of decline is palpable in some of their synagogues. The Reform, with 1.1m fee-paying members and another million-odd who they say identity themselves as such, do deny it. The have tried hard to fudge the figures, changing the rules to accept those born of a Jewish father and a Gentile mother as full-fledged Jews and welcoming mixed Jewish-Gentile couples into their congregations.
