110. Who Is A Reconstructionist Jew? Cyber encyclopedia of Jewish history and culture that covers everythingfrom antiSemitism to Zionism. It includes a glossary, bibliography of web sites and http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/reconstruction.html

Who is a Reconstructionist Jew? A Reconstructionist Jewish 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. 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

Introduction to Judaism Judaism A) Definition: Rabbi Mordecai M Kaplan in his book Judaism as a Civilization discusses Judaism as an evolving, religious civilization. He points out that Judaism does not fit nice and neatly into the usual Western way of looking at religion as belief and rituals. Judaism also includes a language (Hebrew), a land (Israel), literature, arts (music, dance, etc.), food, clothing, politics, history, laws, institutions, and identity—that is to say, a civilization. At the same time, religion stands at the heart of how Jews look at the world, and so its distinctively defining element which gives all others their distinctively Jewish character. At the same time, the Judaism of today is not the Judaism of five hundred years ago, and neither of them the Judaism of one thousand five hundred years ago, of two thousand or three thousand years ago. It has always interacted with its environment, changing beliefs, laws, and viewpoints by incorporating the best of the world around it while still maintaining its distinctive character and wisdom. How to do that while maintaining continuity, though, has always been a dilemma.
