  1. Dialogues Landing

    Dialogues are an occasional feature bringing together many voices to examine a specific topic. In Cutting Edge Judaism, we brought together longtime Reconstructionist leaders with newer voices from within and beyond the movement, in a 3-week series on articles and recorded interviews. And in Israel & Zionism, we solicited a wide range of Reconstructionist voices across the ideological spectrum to express perspectives on Israel at a particular historical moment.

  2. Creative Expression Landing

    Reconstructionism views Judaism not just as a religion, but as a civilization. Art, literature, music, theater, dance—each of these expressions of creativity is an important facet of a rich, dynamic Jewish civilization in dialogue with the world around us.

  3. Reconstructionism - Belonging Landing

    The idea of Jewish peoplehood is central to Reconstructionism. Jews share binding ties that cut across differing practice, beliefs, and national boundaries, binding us together through a common history and shared destiny. At the same time, Reconstructionists reject the traditional notion of Jews as the Chosen People: we take pride in our distinctiveness and sense of vocation at the same time as we affirm the dignity and potential sanctity of all faiths and peoples.

    • Reconstructionism - Believing Landing

      Reconstructionists hold diverse ideas about God, but we share an emphasis on Godliness—those hopes, beliefs, and values within us that impel us to work for a better world, that give us strength and solace in times of need, that challenge us to grow, and that deepen our joy in moments of celebration. Recognizing that all descriptions of God are metaphor, our prayerbooks offer images of God that go far beyond “king of the universe.”

      • Spirituality Landing

        Religion is the container for the life of the spirit. It is the gravity that anchors spirit to earth, translating the vision of the soul into the responsibility of the individual. In the best of all possible worlds, spirituality and religion are partners. The soul’s most profound experiences with a presence greater than the self are given form and articulation through liturgy, ritual and moral law. Religious forms, in turn, remain constantly open to the renewal of sacred moments. If spirituality at its best lifts us up, religion at its best keeps us rooted.
