Download or read book Abraham Geiger s Liberal Judaism written by Ken Koltun-Fromm and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German rabbi, scholar, and theologian Abraham Geiger (1810--1874) is recognized as the principal leader of the Reform movement in German Judaism. In his new work, Ken Koltun-Fromm argues that for Geiger personal meaning in religion -- rather than rote ritual practice or acceptance of dogma -- was the key to religion's moral authority. In five chapters, the book explores issues central to Geiger's work that speak to contemporary Jewish practice -- historical memory, biblical interpretation, ritual and gender practices, rabbinic authority, and Jewish education. This is essential reading for scholars, rabbis, rabbinical students, and informed Jewish readers interested in Conservative and Reform Judaism. Published with the generous support of the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation.

Download or read book The Rise of Reform Judaism written by W. Gunther Plaut and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fiftieth anniversary edition of W. Gunther Plaut's classic volume on the beginnings of the Jewish Reform Movement is updated with a new introduction by Howard A. Berman. The Rise of Reform Judaism covers the first one hundred years of the movement, from the time of the eighteenth-century Jewish Enlightenment leader Moses Mendelssohn to the conclusion of the Augsburg synod in 1871. In these pages the founders who established liberal Judaism speak for themselves through their journals and pamphlets, books and sermons, petitions and resolutions, and public arguments and disputations. Each selection includes Plaut's brief introduction and sketch of the reformer. Important topics within Judaism are addressed in these writings: philosophy and theology, religious practice, synagogue services, and personal life, as well as controversies on the permissibility of organ music, the introduction of the sermon, the nature of circumcision, the observance of the Sabbath, the rights of women, and the authenticity of the Bible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement for religious reform in modern Judaism represents one of the most significant phenomena in Jewish history during the last two hundred years.

Bringing to life the ideas, issues, and personalities that have helped to shape modern Jewry, Response to Modernity offers a comprehensive and balanced history of the Reform Movement, tracing its changing configuration and self-understanding from the beginnings of modernization in late 18th century Jewish thought and practice through Reform's American renewal in the 1970s.

The writer of this pasquinade reproaches the Prussian Ministry in unmeasured terms for having sanctioned Geiger's election. He is convinced that if the just (?) complaints of the orthodox Jews had reached the throne of the king, and if the dissenting opinions of Geiger had been known to the highest authorities, it would have been needless for him to write on the subject. The fact of the matter is that the enemies of Geiger had left no stone unturned in order to oust him. At first they appealed to the government of the province of Upper Silesia, then to the minister of the interior, then to the king, then they attempted to effect Geiger's removal from office. the point of view of Modern Judaism" (Berlin, Issleib, 1880). But some instances may find a place here: "Who knows, who ascends the heaven, returns and tells us"(Talm. Makkoth, 23). "A time will come when all religious laws and ceremonies will lose their validity' (Niddah, 61). "God never came down from heaven to earth, Moses and Elijah never ascended the heaven" (Succah, 5)r "Israel has no longer to expect a Messiah, for the prophecies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled through Hezekiah" (Sanh, 99). Many Christians and a great many orthodox Jews are of the opinion that the so-called Biblical criticism is the work of modern theologians, a product of the Nineteenth century. Nothing of the kind. If they will please go back fifteen centuries, they surely will be nearer the cradle of this so-called "new science." In the middle of the third century Simon ben Lakish, the great Talmud teacher, decided that Job never existed but was a poetical creation, aud furthermore, that the names of the angels were borrowed from a foreign people (Babylonians, Persians), by the Jews during the exile....
