American Jews: Behaving, Believing, and Belonging
Rabbi Ben Lanckton
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, an acclaimed Conservative rabbi and the founder of the Reconstructionist movement, identified three modes in which Jews express their Judaism, especially in America. These lectures will explore his three modes and test their relevance and accuracy for examining the current state of Judaism in America on the 350th anniversary of Jews in America.
