No, we push Judaism to the right by bringing in a bunch of "Holier than thou" BT's who then force the FFB's to pick up every stricture in the (Arscroll) book just to keep up.
I am wondering: is Garnel's 'No' in answer to the first question or to the second one? In other words, is Garnel's very description of a push to the right good or bad? When most think of a weakness emerging from overextended outreach, most think of a weakening of standards. What Garnel may be introducing is a perceived 'strengthening' of standards that, in fact, is a distortion of Torah in another way.
It should be further noted that Rabbi Wolpoe was specifically speaking about gerut, it would seem given the links that he presented. Garnel has extended the issue to the world of kiruv as well. We may question how the two relate?
Rabbi Ben Hecht
definitely no. rather we make sure there is a copy of the mishna and Talmud in every reform shul and we volunteer to go every week or every day to teach them
Outreach should be to Jews. If prospective converts want to climb on board, that's up to them to try, but this should not be because of any campaign on our part.
