Mordecai M. Kaplan, the founder of the Reconstructionist movement,
was the most influential and controversial radical Jewish thinker
in the twentieth century. A Modern Heretic and a Traditional
Community follows Kaplan from his earliest days as a member in good
standing in the Orthodox community, through his period of private
estrangement, into his public divorce from Orthodoxy, and
ultimately through his many decades as Reconstructionism's leader.
Jeffrey S. Gurock and Jacob J. Schacter examine the intellectual
influences that moved Kaplan from Orthodoxy and analyze the
combination of personal, strategic, and career reasons that kept
Kaplan close to Orthodox Jews. More than a biography, A Modern
Heretic and a Traditional Community is also a social history of
American Orthodoxy and of American Judaism over the last century.
Demonstrating how Orthodoxy in America was not a monolithic entity
but rather allowed for a wide range of beliefs and practices, the
book makes a distinct contribution to the fabric of American social
history, Judaism, and the history of religion in the United States.
