Chapter 87 Do you want to become one of our own?(2/2)

Ronald saw many Germanic blond boys attending classes here, coming in and out, and couldn't help but feel an interesting contrast.

Arriving inside the club, there was a private room that seemed to be used by a Jewish rabbi, where Michael Ovitz was waiting for him.

"Hello, Ronald, nice to see you here." Ovitz was wearing a ridiculous little round hat. Ronald rarely saw him like this. This kind of little hat can only cover up

It covers a very small part of the head, and the person wearing it may have used pins or something to fix it, so it won't fall off no matter how you shake your head.

"This was designed by architect Arnold Brenner and completed in 1929. It is the largest Reform synagogue in New York." Ovitz introduced the origin of the building to him.

"Reform Judaism?" Ronald heard a new term.

"Yes, they are also called liberals or progressives, but whatever they are called, they are all a development of Judaism after it entered America. Do you know? The biggest difference between this and traditional Judaism is that we reformists no longer believe in the Old Testament

It is the only classic and cannot be changed."

"Oh?" Ronald said perfunctorily. He was actually not very interested in these things. This place is not like the German International School on the fifth floor which is full of secular atmosphere and has a religious feeling. "

"Yes, we no longer insist that the Jews are God's chosen people, no longer emphasize the principles and core beliefs of race, but pay more attention to personal spiritual experience and community participation. You see, we even rented a floor in Germany

School."

"Ah, yes, I saw the students."

"I'm glad that you have a preliminary understanding of us. So, are you willing to become one of our own?"

"What?" Ronald didn't expect Ovitz to say such words. Was he inviting himself to join this Reform Judaism and become a member of the Jewish people?"

"Yes, we are very welcoming to people who become part of our community through marriage, especially artistic talents like you. Don't be surprised. I talked to Gerald yesterday and I know that you and Helen have a good relationship. You still give me

She invested in movies.

If you are willing, I will be happy to serve as your introducer...The ceremony is actually very simple..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ovitz."

Ronald understood everything, why Ovitz would say something about himself to him on the set of Rain Man. Why Helen's father would not attend his daughter's movie premiere, and what Helen's mother would say to him, saying that he didn't want her daughter to live a life she didn't like.

lifestyle.

"I think you are mistaken. I am a Christian Quaker." Ronald stopped him quickly.

"I've talked to many of your friends, and you basically don't go to church. Even if you go to church, you can transfer after studying Jewish scriptures..." Ovitz frowned, thinking that this was a question to himself.

The news I received doesn’t seem to match.

"This is not my own thing. In fact, my father's family has always been the main sponsor of the Quakers in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Recently, I also donated to the new Quaker church on Staten Island." Ronald

He quickly denied it, this was really funny.

"Oh, my fault, I thought there might be some mistake in the middle. I'm sorry that I made you misunderstand what I said and wrote. In fact, if..." Ovitz couldn't help but apologize. This was very embarrassing.
