SUMMARY:Adult Education with Rabbi Alex on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Every Breath\, Words Aflame: Reconstructionist Thought Through 
 Liturgy\nClick Here to Sign Up | Click to Join Sunday's Zoom\n\nIn 1945\, 
 Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan published the first Reconstructionist siddur–the J
 ewish prayer book that reflected the values and ideals of Reconstructionis
 t thought. The changes and ideas in the siddur were so radical that a grou
 p of over 200 Orthodox rabbis gathered in New York to come up with a respo
 nse. At this gathering\, some rabbis burned the siddur\, calling it hereti
 cal 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 Reconstructionist siddur has evolved and ha
 d a tremendous influence on prayer books in all streams of Judaism.\n\nIn 
 this class\, we will explore the Reconstructionist siddur with the dual ai
 ms of becoming more familiar with Jewish liturgy to enhance our prayer liv
 es\, 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 on Zoom\, 1:00–2:30 PM:\nApril 24 Zoom: Aleynu:
  Chosenness\, Distinctiveness\, and Jewish Ethics
