 Liturgy\nClick Here to Sign Up\nClick Here for the Zoom\nYou don't need to

 945\, Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan published the first Reconstructionist siddur
 –the Jewish prayer book that reflected the values and ideals of Reconstr
 uctionist thought. The changes and ideas in the siddur were so radical tha
 t a group of over 200 Orthodox rabbis gathered in New York to come up with
  a response. At this gathering\, some rabbis burned the siddur\, calling i
 t heretical and placed Kaplan under cherem–excommunicating him from Juda
 ism for “atheism\, heresy and disbelief in the basic tenets of Judaism.
 ” Over seventy-five years later\, the Reconstructionist siddur has evolv
 ed and had a tremendous influence on prayer books in all streams of Judais
 m.\n\nIn this class\, we will explore the Reconstructionist siddur with th
 e dual aims of becoming more familiar with Jewish liturgy to enhance our p
 rayer lives\, and also to have a deeper understanding of Reconstructionist
  thought and practice. No previous knowledge required\, just curiosity and
  an open mind.\n\nClass will meet either on Zoom or at CAA\, 1:00-2:30 PM 
 on the following dates:\nJanuary 23: Zoom–Mah Tovu: Judaism as an Evolvi
 ng Civilization\nJanuary 30 Birchot HaShachar: God\, Godliness\, and the
