The events surrounding the Second Diaspora and the Twelve Hours' War led to the slow accumulation of voices behind a more progressive strand of Judaism that followed many of the same ideas behind Reform Judaism (as opposed to Reconstructionist or Humanist Judaism), which quickly ballooned to become the largest group, particularly sys-side. This in turn led to the formation of the Association of New Reform Congregations, which served both as an organizational entity behind these congregations and an ordination (''semikha'') organization. They were anti-Zionist, environmentalist, leaned socialist, and viewed the System as a chance to continue in their work of ''tikkun olam.'' Some viewed the System as The World to Come, but this idea never gained majority traction. | The events surrounding the Second Diaspora and the Twelve Hours' War led to the slow accumulation of voices behind a more progressive strand of Judaism that followed many of the same ideas behind Reform Judaism (as opposed to Reconstructionist or Humanist Judaism), which quickly ballooned to become the largest group, particularly sys-side. | ||

One benefit of this growth was the fact that this strand of Judaism was particularly focused on a multimodal approach, engaging with Jews both embedded and embodied. With a sizable representation sys-side and as other forms of [[infolife]], those who engaged with Judaism after uploading or as [[memorial uploads]] provided a perpetual anchor of effectively immortal membership. | One benefit of this growth was the fact that this strand of Judaism was particularly focused on a multimodal approach, engaging with Jews both embedded and embodied.
