How Can Reconstructionists Pray?
Reconstructionists are not atheists. The founder of Reconstructionism, Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan, was falsely accused of atheism during his lifetime and has been so labeled since his death.

A Reconstructionist Exploration of Dietary Law

It is fair to say that my family of origin was lacking in kosher consciousness!
