Notes

Review
My teacher Mordecai Kaplan was the single most influential thinker in the history of American Judaism. -- Rabbi Harold Kushner,

This inspiring book includes the recent spiritual developments in the Reconstructionist movement...which deepen one's awareness of God's presence. -- Sylvia Boorstein, author of Funny, You Don't Look

I just finished the book, Exploring Judaism: A Reconstructionist Approach. I can't believe that I finished it in just two evenings - it's so unlike me. I found it incredibly informative and empowering, especially coming from an oft-times exclusive traditional background. This book is written in an intellectual but accessible manner. It truly elaborates on the Reconstructionist point of entry into Judaism. It also encourages further study! I didn't realize that one could find so much beauty in my heritage - especially since I broke away several years ago feeling spiritually empty and intellectually disenfranchized. I highly recommend this book for anyone, but especially those who are deeply struggling to recapture and explore their Jewish soul. Thanks Rabbis Alpert and Staub!!!!
