    Extractions: String of Pearls is a congregation of 50 households in the Princeton area whose members have been gathering together since 1991. From the beginning it has been a proudly diverse and inclusive Jewish congregation, welcoming young and old, singles and families, Jews by birth and by choice, non-Jewish partners in interfaith couples, gay and straight, the spiritually settled and the spiritually restless, in short, all who are willing to commit to the integration of community, worship, study, and acts of loving kindness (gemilut hasadim) and repair of the world (tikkun olam). Our synagogue’s name, String of Pearls, comes from one of the first songs the congregation learned to sing together. The text of the Yiddish song, Schnirele Perele (“String of Pearls”), implies that those who are “pearls”—bound together by a common thread of joyous belief—will advance the coming of an age of heaven on earth.

    http://www.nvrc.net/recon.htm
    
    Extractions: Reconstructionist Community Who is a Reconstructionist Jew? Adapted from the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation website. A Reconstructionist Jew has strong commitments both to tradition and to the search for contemporary meaning. 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. 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 ancestors from around the world. 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.

    http://www.myjewishlearning.com/history_community/Modern/ModernReligionCulture/M
    
    Extractions: The following article is reprinted from the American Jewish Historical Society’s American Jewish Desk Reference: The Ultimate One Volume Reference to the Jewish Experience in America , published by Random House. The smallest of the four branches of American Judaism, Reconstructionism, originated in the philosophy of one individual—Mordecai Kaplan. Kaplan believed that Judaism was a “religious civilization” emerging from the history and culture of the Jewish people. As a “civilization” it was constantly evolving, and it was the goal of Jewish thinkers at any given time to interpret Judaism in the light of contemporary life and thought without abandoning its traditional values. The beginning of Reconstructionism can be dated to 1922, when Kaplan founded the Society for the Advancement of Judaism, a synagogue in New York City. Kaplan gathered Jews who were disaffected with other congregations and committed to “reconstructing” American Judaism so that it spoke more meaningfully to the twentieth-century world. Synagogue members were encouraged to interpret Jewish tradition freely and to create a more democratic institutional life. Kaplan rejected the notion that the Torah and the Talmud had been revealed by God at

100. Forum HaGalil - Board A: Rekonstruktionismus - "reconstructionist Judaism"
     http://forum.hagalil.com/archiv-a/messages/879/1186.html
     
     Extractions: Rekonstruktionismus oder „rekonstruktionistisches Judentum" ist die kleinste der vier Bewegungen im Judentum (neben Orthodoxie, konservativen und Reformjudentum). Sie wurde in den 20iger Jahren von Mordechai Kaplan gegründet, der eigentlich keine eigene Bewegung ins Leben rufen wollte, sondern unter dem Dach des konservativen Judentums bleiben wollte. Die rekonstruktionistische Bewegung definiert Judentum als „sich weiterentwickelnde religiöse Zivilisation" Judentum ist durch verschiedene Phasen gegangen, die jeweils die Bedingungen unter denen es sich weiterentwickelte, spiegelten. Auch heute geht diese Entwicklung weiter und muß den sich ändernden Bedingungen Rechnung tragen. Jede Generation hat das Recht und die Verpflichtung die Tradition zu studieren und dann neu zu formulieren. Ziel ist, Brücken zu bauen, sodaß Juden in ihrer eigenen historisch gewachsenen Zivilisation und in der ihrer Umweltkultur als Juden leben können, und zwar zur gegenseitigen Bereicherung beider (ist wohl eine sehr amerikanische Perspektive!).
