 WHAT IS RECONSTRUCTIONIST JUDAISM?
Reconstructionist Judaism has strong commitments to both tradition and to the search for contemporary meaning. Reconstructionism defines Judaism as the evolving civilization of the Jewish people who share a historical memory and destiny including a commitment to our ancient homeland and language. Reconstructionists encourage all Jews to enhance their own lives by reclaiming our shared heritage and becoming active participants in the building of a Jewish future.
Reconstructionism recognizes the diversity of Jewish religious ideology and practice and seeks to join with other Jews in accepting that diversity while working toward a shared vision of Jewish peoplehood. All Jews, whether by birth or by choice, are members of the extended family. Although one member of a family must be Jewish, every member is afforded equal status.
