    RECONSTRUCTIONISM IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN NATURE OF RECONSTRUCTIONISM • ITS HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS • ITS CONSTITUENCY • AS IDEOLOGY OF AMERICAN JUDAISM • FOLK AND ELITE RELIGION IN AMERICAN JUDAISM INTRODUCTION JLHE RECONSTRUCTIONIST MOVEMENT deserves more serious and systematic study than it has been given. It has recently laid claim to the status of denomination, the fourth in American Judaism, along with Orthodoxy, Conservatism, and Reform. Its founder, Mordecai M. Kaplan, probably is the most creative Jewish thinker to concern himself with a program for American Judaism. He is one of the few intellectuals in Jewish life who have given serious consideration to Jewish tradition, American philosophical thought, and the experiences of the American Jew, and confronted each with the other. Reconstructionism is the only religious party in Jewish life whose origins are entirely American and whose leading personalities view Judaism from the perspective of the exclusively American Jewish experience. The Reconstructionist has been Note. This study would not have been possible without the cooperation of many Reconstructionists, friends of Reconstructionism, and former Reconstructionists. All consented to lengthy interviews, and I am most grateful to them. I am espe- cially indebted to Rabbi Ira Eisenstein, president of the Reconstructionist Founda- tion, who consented to seven interviews and innumerable telephone conversations, supplied me with all the information and material I requested, tolerated me through the many additional hours I spent searching for material in his office, and responded critically to an earlier version of this study. Rabbi Jack Cohen read the same version. He, too, pointed to several statements which, in his view, were unfair to Reconstructionism.

  • IMPRESSIONS of FRENCH JEWRY TODAY Georges Levitte
    IMPRESSIONS OF FRENCH JEWRY TODAY Georges Levitte o SERIOUS statistical study of French Jewry has yet been made. The chief difficulty has been that during the past hun- Ndred years French censuses have asked no questions about religious affiliation, in keeping with the separation between Church and State. In general, the extremely complex structure of French Jewry makes it almost impossible for anyone to write a satisfactory survey. The complexity—both demographic and social—springs from the multipli- city of the origins of French Jewry and its present-day distribution in the country, from the great variety of ideological trends, and from the high proportion ofJews who no longer have any connexion with organ- ized Jewish activities. It must be stressed that for these reasons the facts set out in this paper are working hypotheses and rough approximations, subject to check by future inquiries. (Virtually the only serious recent sociological studies of French Jewish communities have been under- taken by Community Service, which is sponsored by the Alliance Israelite Universelle, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anglo- Jewish Association, and these only on small and medium-sized Jewish communities.) Population - The most plausible estimate of the present-day Jewish population of France is 300,000-350,000, or less than i per cent of the 45 millions in the country. It can be assumed that 150,000-180,000 Jews live in the Paris area, but about one-third of them are scattered in small suburban settlements, which means that a good number form very small and practically isolated communities.
