   Extractions: Is Reconstructionist Judaism For You? Reconstructionist Judaism is a progressive, contemporary approach to Jewish life which integrates a deep respect for traditional Judaism with the insights and ideas of contemporary social, intellectual and spiritual life. Judaism as the Culture of the Jewish People For Reconstructionists, Judaism is more than Jewish religion; Judaism is the entire cultural legacy of the Jewish people. Religion is central; Jewish spiritual insights and religious teachings give meaning and purpose to our lives. Yet our creativity as expressed through art, music and drama, languages and literature, and our relationship with the land of Israel itself are also integral parts of Jewish culture. Each of these aspects provides a gateway into the Jewish experience that can enrich and inspire us. Community as Cornerstone While deeply connected to the historical experience of the Jewish people, we find a profound sense of belonging in our contemporary communities as well. This connection often leads to increased ritual observance and experimentation with the ritual rhythms of Jewish life. We find meaning in rediscovering the richness of traditional ritual and creating new observances which respond to our contemporary communal and personal cycles. Reconstructionist communities are characterized by their respect for such core values as democratic process, pluralism, and accessibility. In this way, they create participatory, inclusive, egalitarian communities committed to exploring Jewish life with dedication, warmth and enthusiasm.

    http://www.shamayim.org/Reconstructionist Judaism.html
    
    Extractions: Reconstructionist Judaism The children of Jews who came to America in the immigration wave of 1880-1920 wondered how to reconcile their European heritage with the wide-open atmosphere in America. It was the insight of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, the founder of Reconstructionism, that Judaism could do well by incorporating the American ideals of equality, democracy and inclusivity. Theological perspectives that flourished in traditional hierarchical societies needed to be reconstructed to speak in a society where authority derived from the people and where one's religious or ethnic identity was not in principle a barrier to full economic and political participation. Reconstructionism is a Jewish embrace of and response to American democratic society. It is a Jewish approach that takes America seriously, both by bringing Jewish perspectives to bear on social issues, and by incorporating the best of American values into Judaism. Reconstructionism is a "bottom-up" approach to Judaism. It begins with the experiences of the Jewish people. It speaks less of revelation and more of discovery. It emphasizes connection, opportunity and responsibility over commandment. Reconstructionists envision a maximalist liberal Judaism that serves as a rich source of spiritual self-expression and moral challenge in the ways Jews conduct their lives. Reconstructionism defines Judaism as the evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people

The movement does not believe in a personified deity that is active in history and does not believe that God chose the Jewish people. Reconstructionists observe halakhah (Jewish Law) if they choose to, not because it is a binding Law from God, but because it is a valuable cultural remnant.

In most Jewish communities, polygamy has not existed in any significant form for thousands of years. In the 10th century C.E., Rabbi Gershom of Germany issued a rabbinic decree banning polygamy, and his ruling has been accepted by all Jewish communities. (The isolated Yemenite Jewish community continued to practice polygamy into the

Reconstructionists encourage all Jews to enhance their own lives by reclaiming our shared heritage and becoming active participants in the building of the Jewish future. The Evolving Religious Civilization of the Jewish People Reconstructionists define Judaism as the evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people. By "evolving" we mean that Judaism has changed over the centuries of its existence. The faith of the ancient Israelites in the days of Solomon's Temple was not the same as that of the early rabbis. And neither of those faiths was the same as that of our more recent European ancestors. Each generation of Jews has subtly reshaped the faith and traditions of the Jewish people. Reconstructionist Jews seek to nurture this evolution. We see it as the lifeblood of Judaism, the power that allows Judaism to continue as a dynamic tradition in every age. By "religious" we mean that Judaism is the means by which we conduct our search for ultimate meaning in life. God The Past Has a Vote, Not a Veto
