Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reform Movement in Judaism In October, 1897, I published in the Jewish Quarterly Review an article entitled "The Progress of the Jewish Reform Movement in the United States." This article was the beginning of a series of further studies on the reform movement in Judaism. These studies, which form the chapters of this book, aim to present a connected story of the progressive movement in Judaism, the most striking Jewish religious phenomenon of modern times. It has been possible in this survey to take account only of the corporate activities which translated the theories of the reformers into practice. Many statements of individual scholars and writers, however interesting as contributions to the store of liberal Jewish thought, could not be included, since this is not a history of the literary output, but of the practical achievements of reform. This point can be well illustrated by adverting to the case of Russia. There a number of prominent writers have pleaded strongly for reforms in religious practice and belief, but no public official steps have been taken towards carrying out these reforms. The reform movement has found no lodgement in the corporate and congregational Jewish life of Russia, hence no chapter is devoted to Russia in this work, however illuminating might be the statements that can be culled from the writings of Russian Jewish authors. It has been my aim to present as objectively as possible the purposes and accomplishments of the reform movement. We are still too near the beginning of the movement to take account of ultimate effects and results. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Function of Ceremonies in Judaism Reform Movement in Judaism (see especially 6-13; 332 f.) hinges on the question whether Judaism is a system of ceremonial observ ance as binding upon the Jew as is the system of dogmatic belief upon the Christian, or whether Judaism is a system of religious and ethical truths, the ceremonies being only the means to higher ends, not ends in themselves.

Download or read book The New Reform Judaism written by Dana Evan Kaplan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book that American Jews and particularly American Reform Jews have been waiting for: a clear and informed call for further reform in the Reform movement. In light of profound demographic, social, and technological developments, it has become increasingly clear that the Reform movement will need to make major changes to meet the needs of a quickly evolving American Jewish population. Younger Americans in particular differ from previous generations in how they relate to organized religion, often preferring to network through virtual groups or gather in informal settings of their own choosing. Dana Evan Kaplan, an American Reform Jew and pulpit rabbi, argues that rather than focusing on the importance of loyalty to community, Reform Judaism must determine how to engage the individual in a search for existential meaning. It should move us toward a critical scholarly understanding of the Hebrew Bible, that we may emerge with the perspectives required by a postmodern world. Such a Reform Judaism can at once help us understand how the ancient world molded our most cherished religious traditions and guide us in addressing the increasingly complex social problems of our day.

Download or read book Jewish Reform Movement in the US written by Mara W. Cohen Ioannides and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the development of the non-liturgical parts of the Central Conference of American Rabbis’ Haggadot. Through an understanding of the changes in American Jewish educational patterns and the CCAR's theology, it explores how the CCAR Haggadah was changed over time to address the needs of the constituency. While there have been many studies of the Haggadah and its development over the course of Jewish history, there has been no such study of the non-liturgical parts of the Haggadah that reflect the needs of the audience it reaches. How the CCAR, the first and largest of American-born Judaisms, addressed the changing needs of its members through its literature for the Passover Seder reveals much about the development of the movement. This in turn provides for the readers of this book an understanding of how American Judaism has developed.

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dissolving Views in the History of Judaism It is no difficult task for an architect to erect a building upon a vacant lot. He can break the ground according to his plans, and even if he has to blast here and there a rock that crosses his way, or if, as Upon made land, he has to drive a number of piles into the soft ground, such Obstacles are easily surmounted, his work can progress systematically, and the walls will rise up at an early day. A far more difficult task is it for him to remodel an old house, to build where something else stands already. It is slow work to tear down a foundation without harming that portion of the building which rests upon it, and, as in old buildings the cement has Often become hardened to such a degree that the stones would rather crack than be lifted out of the layer of mortar by which they are held together, it requires the utmost caution not to destroy more than is desirable. If today a race Of the human species could be found which, though intellectually rip ened, has never heard Of religion, it would be compara tively an easy task to teach such people a creed which would be purity itself and free from any admixture of superstition; religious reformers, however, do not find such a desirable material, they must take men as they are, they must build on ground upon which something else stands already, they are compelled to remodel Old struc tures, to tear down on one side and to build up on'.the other. They find frequently the most valuable material so deeply encrusted in errors, or errors SO deeply imbedded in excellent material, that all efforts to separate them are hopeless, and the stones not seldom break before the mor tar will yield.
