- Abstract
Reconstructionist Judaism is the religios movement which emerged and developed through the ideas and actions of Mordecai Menahem Kaplan, Jewish philosopher, educator and sociologist, in USA in the XXth century. Since the XVIIIth century, Englighment Movement has different effects on the Jewish community. According to Kaplan, Jews lived by adhering to their traditional beliefs without encountered any problems until Modern Age. However, modernity has given rise to the corruptions on traditional Jewish beliefs and practices. Jews have begun to doubt about their beliefs due to modernism's political, economical and ideological effects. Jews have got stuck in between the traditional lifestyle tand he modern lifestyle. Kaplan calls as crisis this situation and he suggest that none of the Jewish movements (Reformist, Neo-Orthodox, Conservative) in America have produced a solution to this crisis. From this point of view, he proposes the reconstructionist program to find a way out to crisis and to comply with between modern and traditional Jewish lifestyle. This program makes a new definition for Judaism. According to the new definition, Judaism is not only a religion; but also it is a civilization. This program's goals following: to resolve the Judaism's crisis, provide the survival of the Judaism civilization, revitalize the Jewish religion, recover Judaism from the supernatural concept, and preserve the existence of the Jewish community.
