Just an Introduction
Guide to Reconstructionist Belief and Practice In "Exploring Judaism," Rabbis Alpert and Staub provide a brief introduction to Reconstructionist belief and practice.The emphasis in the first six chapters is on the fundamental beliefs that define the movement -- the conception of Judaism as an evolving religious civilization, the nature of God, the role of traditional practice and halakha, the interaction of practicing Jews with an open society, and the place of Zionism.The ideas in these chapters are set out clearly and concisely and give the reader a good idea of what Reconstructionism is about.These chapters are not meant to be theology or a rigorous exposition of Reconstructionist ideas; still, a little more detail on some of the more obvious difficulties (an asserted "solution" to the problem of theogony, which is not a solution at all) and tensions within the movement (did Kaplan go too far or not far enough in changing the liturgy, the language of prayer, the conception of "chosenness") would have been helpful.As it stands, this part of the book seems to be pitched toward bright high school students or adults who have never thought about theological issues except in the most basic, "self help" terms. The second half of "Exploring Judaism" is devoted to Reconstructionist practice -- study, prayer, ritual, social action, the development of inclusive communities, and the "structure" of the movement itself.These chapters do an excellent job of demonstrating how Judaism can be reconstructed into a vital center of one's life and community.Here the authors succeed in being inspirational without being preachy. "Exploring Judaism" seems to have been written for people who were raised in another Jewish movement and who have either dropped out or become disenchanted.A reasonable degree of familiarity with traditional Jewish practice and belief is assumed throughout.If you are lacking that familiarity, you may be somewhat lost, particularly in the later chapters.Recommended to anyone seeking to learn more about this path to reconnecting with Judaism.
