"The issue is that Orthodox Jews feel that the reform ceremonies are insufficient in..."

Please do not lump all Orthodox Jews into this category. You are referring to the Haredi Jews, aka the ultra-Orthodox crowd and people leaning toward that position. But not all Orthodox Jews feel this way.

I'm an Orthodox Jew from birth (attended a Brooklyn yeshiva for high school) and I couldn't care less if a Jew is Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, Whig or a partridge in a pear tree. I subscribe to the notion of the "pintele yid", that every Jew, no matter how assimilated, has the tiny spark of Judaism in him of her.

I think its asinine for the ultra-Orthodox to try to discourage anyone. Hitler didn't check a Jew's pedigree before gassing him to death. Jews should adopt this attitude but in a positive way - you accept every Jew from every walk of life.
