You are invited to spend a year with the inspirational words,
ideas, and counsel of the great twentieth-century thinker Rabbi
Mordecai Kaplan, through his meditations on the fifty-four weekly
Torah portions and eleven Jewish holidays. A pioneer of ideas and
action-teaching that "Judaism is a civilization" encompassing
Jewish culture, art, and peoplehood; demonstrating how synagogues
can be full centers for Jewish living (building one of the first
"shuls with a pool"); and creating the first-ever bat mitzvah
ceremony (for his daughter Judith)-Kaplan transformed the landscape
of American Jewry. Yet much of Kaplan's rich treasury of ethical
and spiritual thought is largely unknown. Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben,
who studied closely with Kaplan, offers unique insight into
Kaplan's teachings about ethical relationships and spiritual
fulfillment, including how to embrace godliness in everyday
experience, our mandate to become agents of justice in the world,
and the human ability to evolve personally and collectively.
Quoting from the week's Torah portion, Reuben presents Torah
commentary, a related quotation from Kaplan, a reflective
commentary integrating Kaplan's understanding of the Torah text,
and an intimate story about his family or community's struggles and
triumphs-guiding twenty-first-century spiritual seekers of all
backgrounds on how to live reflectively and purposefully every day.
