What is Reconstructionist Judaism?
Tzedek v’Shalom is proud to be affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation, which serves its affiliates by working with them to build Jewish communities that are democratic, egalitarian, spiritually and intellectually vibrant, and committed to Jewish learning, ethics, and social justice.
Reconstructionist Judaism is a modern Jewish movement based on the ideas of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan (1881 – 1983). The movement, which originated in America, views Judaism as a progressively evolving religious civilization. There is substantial theological diversity within the movement. The movement emphasizes positive views towards modernism while still respecting traditional Judaism.
