How does Lau-Lavie's experience as a gay man within an Orthodox Jewish family inform his progressive views on religious practice and social justice?

The success of the Conservative movement is attributed to its ability to unite individuals with diverse viewpoints under a shared Jewish identity. This inclusivity, coupled with a focus on personal growth within a communal setting, draws unaffiliated Jews seeking connection and purpose. This contrasts with the challenges faced by organized religion globally and especially in Israel, where government funding limitations hinder non-Orthodox movements.
