SUMMARY:Adult Education with Rabbi Alex on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Every Breath\, Words Aflame: Reconstructionist Thought Through 
 Liturgy \nClick Here to Sign Up\nYou don't need to attend all sessions. S
 ign up for as many or as few as you'd like!\n\nIn 1945\, Rabbi Mordecai Ka
 plan published the first Reconstructionist siddur–the Jewish prayer book
  that reflected the values and ideals of Reconstructionist thought. The ch
 anges and ideas in the siddur were so radical that a group of over 200 Ort
 hodox rabbis gathered in New York to come up with a response. At this gath
 ering\, some rabbis burned the siddur\, calling it heretical and placed Ka
 plan under cherem–excommunicating him from Judaism for “atheism\, here
 sy and disbelief in the basic tenets of Judaism.” Over seventy-five year
 s later\, the Reconstructionist siddur has evolved and had a tremendous in
 fluence on prayer books in all streams of Judaism.\n\nIn this class\, we w
 ill explore the Reconstructionist siddur with the dual aims of becoming mo
 re familiar with Jewish liturgy to enhance our prayer 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 wi
 ll meet either on Zoom\, 1:00-2:30 PM on the following dates:\nApril 10 O
 seh Shalom: Particularism and Universalism\nApril 24 Aleynu: Chosenness\, 
 Distinctiveness\, and Jewish Ethics
