SUMMARY:Adult Education on Zoom with Rabbi Alex
DESCRIPTION:Adult Ed with Rabbi Alex\nEvery Breath\, Words Aflame: Reconstr
 uctionist Thought Through Liturgy\nClick Here to Sign Up\nClick Here to Jo
 in the Zoom\n\nYou don't need to attend all sessions. Sign up for as many 
 or as few as you'd like!\n\nIn 1945\, Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan published the 
 first Reconstructionist siddur–the Jewish prayer book that reflected the
  values and ideals of Reconstructionist thought. The changes and ideas in 
 the siddur were so radical that a group of over 200 Orthodox rabbis gather
 ed in New York to come up with a response. At this gathering\, some rabbis
  burned the siddur\, calling it heretical and placed Kaplan under cherem
 –excommunicating him from Judaism for “atheism\, heresy and disbelief 
 in the basic tenets of Judaism.” Over seventy-five years later\, the Rec
 onstructionist siddur has evolved and had a tremendous influence on prayer
  books in all streams of Judaism.\n\nIn this class\, we will explore the R
 econstructionist siddur with the dual aims of becoming more familiar with 
 Jewish liturgy to enhance our prayer lives\, and also to have a deeper und
 erstanding of Reconstructionist thought and practice. No previous knowledg
 e 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
