  2. Deborah April Column

    What does a thriving synagogue look like? I was recently asked to be on a panel at a conference on this topic. To prepare, I sat down — in true Reconstructionist style —with Seth Rosen, the chair of our board of governors; Tresa Grauer, who was recently promoted to become vice president for thriving communities; and almost-rabbi Micah Weiss, who will graduate from RRC in June, and just started working with us as assistant director of the Thriving Communities department and tikkun olam specialist.

  4. Book Review of A Year with Mordecai Kaplan

  5. Provide for Yourself a Rabbi

    “Provide for Yourself a Rabbi” (Pirkei Avot 1:6)

    As Reconstructionists, we talk all the time about creating Jewish community — whether we are building and sustaining our home congregations; seeking connection with other Jews and the people who love us beyond our own walls; or trying to nurture emerging expressions of Jewish communal life on college campuses, in other non-synagogue settings and even on the internet.

  7. Jewish Particularism & Universalism: R' Deborah Waxman interviewed by R' Shmuly Yanklowitz

    Why did Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D, president of Reconstructing Judaism, choose a career in the rabbinate? How did she arrive at her personal theology? How does that theology shape her response, and Reconstructing Judaism’s response, to the unprecedented health, economic and social crisis brought on by the coronavirus?

  8. Rooted and Relevant Haberman lecture

    As the pandemic has made clear, we are in an era of unprecedented social upheaval. Our political, social and communal institutions are challenged by a breakdown in civil discourse and democratic values, rising extremist movements, the need to reckon with systemic racial injustice, and an existential climate threat. To meet this century’s new realities, our institutions must adapt and evolve to promote democracy, foster meaningful conversations, and join together to ensure that all people are treated with dignity and respect.

  9. America's First Bat Mitzvah podcast promo

    Many Jews have heard that the first bat mitzvah celebration took place in 1922 in a Reconstructionist congregation — and that the first girl to become a bat mitzvah was Judith Kaplan, daughter of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism.  Much less familiar are the historical factors leading to that moment, or why it took several more decades before the bat mitzvah as we know it to take root.
