Restless Soul: Mordecai Kaplan and the Reinvention of American Judaism
Restless Soul: Mordecai Kaplan and the Reinvention of American Judaism February 12, 19 and 26th,
4:00-5:00PM —ONLINE ONLY
Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan was admired by many, challenged by others, and never stopped trying to reinvent what it meant to live a Jewish life in the modern world.
In this special three-part Melton+ series presented in cooperation with Valley Beth Shalom, the Harold M Schulweis Institute, and the Mordecai Kaplan Center for Jewish Peoplehood, Rabbi Ed Feinstein sits down with historian Jenna Weissman Joselit, author of the forthcoming Jewish Lives biography Mordecai M. Kaplan: Restless Soul, for a candid and compelling exploration of Kaplan’s life and legacy. Founder of the Reconstructionist movement, fierce critic of inherited dogma, and tireless advocate for a Judaism that could speak to modern life, Kaplan reshaped American Jewish identity and ignited ongoing debate about faith, community, and change.
