- Title
RECONSTRUCTIONISM AND HAVURAH: The Whittier-Schulweis Connection.
- Authors
Margolis, Peter
- Abstract
The article offers information on the havurah movement, one of the manifestations of Jewish renewal in the U.S. in the late 1960s. The movement pursues self-directed programs of Jewish study, celebration, and community service, according to sociologist Bernard Reisman. The emergence of contemporary havurah in the late 1960s and early 1970s was attributed to the breakdown of community in American society and the alienation of some young intellectual Jews. The article chronicles the development of fellowship groups and havurot in the Reconstructionist movement. It also discusses the Whittier Reconstructionst Havurah of Whittier, California.
