Sidney Goldmann (1903-1983)

J—/EADING NEW JERSEY jurist, Trenton's outstanding civic leader, andindefatigable worker for Jewish causes, Sidney Goldmann died on August 6, 1983at the age of 79. In an editorial appearing four days after Goldmann's death, TheTrentonian said:

He was a brilliant judge, a respected historian, an accomplished musician, anda community leader of tremendous stature. But most of all [he] was a man of greatwarmth, compassion, and sensitivity for preserving human rights and the dignityof all mankind. The city of Trenton and the state of New Jersey have lost oneof their true legal and scholarly giants and we all deeply mourn his passing. . . Judge Goldmann was a pillar of the community and state, a leader, one ofthe truly great men of our time.

These laudatory words do not exaggerate in the least the qualities of Goldmann'scharacter or the record of his accomplishments.

Goldmann was born in Trenton on November 28, 1903, to immigrant parents.He graduated from the local high school, where he won the most coveted honorsand scholarships, including a scholarship offered by the Harvard Club of NewJersey. Goldmann graduated from Harvard College in 1924, magna cum laude inmathematics. In college, he was known as a mathematical prodigy. Had the oppor-tunities for an academic career (especially for a Jew) been as open as they becameafter World War II, Goldmann might have gone on to do graduate work in mathe-matics. Instead, he entered Harvard Law School. He graduated with the LL. B.degree in 1927, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar the following year.

Goldmann was a proficient pianist; while in college he earned money playing inan orchestra. One summer he was engaged to play piano aboard a trans-Atlanticliner, and this gave him an opportunity to see something of several Europeancountries.

After his admission to the bar, Goldmann opened a law office in Trenton. Unfor-tunately, the early years of his practice were lean, as the stock market crash of 1929brought on the great depression. Goldmann, however, was not idle. With a col-league, he investigated the Trenton Transit Company, and later the Trenton munici-pal corporation and the police department. The successful prosecution of theseefforts led to his appointment as city attorney and acting city manager, positionswhich he held from 1935 to 1939. From 1942 to 1944 Goldmann was executivesecretary to New Jersey governor Charles Edison. He resigned this position tobecome state librarian, a position which he held for three years, and then becamehead of the New Jersey archives and history bureau.

In 1947, when work was about to begin on a new New Jersey state constitution,Goldmann was induced to assume three separate posts—librarian and archivist for

401


the New Jersey state constitutional convention, chairman of the governor's commis-sion for preparatory research for the constitutional convention, and member of theNew Jersey commission on the revision of statutes. Goldmann thus played a centralrole in the work on the new constitution, which replaced the antiquated one of 1844.The new constitution contained a strengthened, liberalized bill of rights, provisionsfor streamlined governmental departments, and a simplified judicial system. Gold-mann edited the proceedings of the constitutional convention in five volumes.

In retrospect it seems as if Goldmann's career up to this point was only apreparation for the judicial career which he began in 1949, when he was appointedstanding master of the New Jersey supreme court. Two years later, Goldmann wasappointed a judge of the superior court. In the following year, he was assigned tothe appellate division. In 1954, Goldmann was appointed presiding judge of theappellate division of the superior court, a position which he held until 1971. From1969 to 1971 Goldmann was also administrative judge of the court. He retired in1971, at the age of 68.

Goldmann's retirement, however, was by no means total: he became a member ofthe supreme court committee on opinions; member and later chairman of the electionlaw enforcement commission; and consultant to the law firm of Katzenbach, Gildea,and Rudner. Goldmann was also frequently designated special hearing examiner inimportant public-interest cases. As a member of the committee on supreme courtopinions, he edited 116 volumes of court cases, while unofficially editing 43 volumesof New Jersey equity reports. Toward the end of his career, Goldmann estimated thathe had penned a total of 2,140 judicial opinions, an astonishing average of two perweek. So busy was he with his work, that he permitted himself only two vacationsduring a 30-year period. One of them, in fact, was a working vacation: Goldmannserved on the faculty of the Salzburg seminar in American studies.

Goldmann was a progressive judge. He gave due and respectful consideration tojudicial precedents, but did not allow them to have a paralytic effect on his mindand will. An example of this is to be seen in a case involving a plaintiff who sufferedinjuries while descending the steps of a Y.M.C. A. swimming pool. At the time, thedoctrine of charitable immunity obtained in New Jersey law, and under this doctrinethe Y.M.C.A. was exempt from liability. Goldmann argued that the doctrine ofcharitable immunity from tort liability had found its way into American lawthrough misconception or misapplication of previously established principles, andthat, in any case, the doctrine was outmoded and should be repudiated. "In law,as in morals," Goldmann wrote in Benton v. Y.M.C.A., "men must be just beforethey are generous. Charity should not be permitted to inflict injury upon somewithout a right of redress, merely in order to bestow charity upon others."

In another case, Jenkins v. State, Goldmann held that an indigent defendant wasentitled to the appointment of counsel at every significant stage of a criminalproceeding, including the time of sentencing, unless he knowingly relinquished suchright.

An opinion of Goldmann's that was cited with approval by the United Statessupreme court in several leading obscenity cases was Bantam Books v. Melko. The

S I D N E Y G O L D M A N N ( 1 9 0 3 - 1 9 8 3 ) / 403

case involved an instance of censorship by the prosecutor of Middlesex County. Acitizens' committee had prepared a list of 36 books which it considered objection-able. The prosecutor gave this list to his agent, who informed book dealers andnewspaper-stand owners that there was a drive against the sale or display of obsceneliterature. As a result, the books were withdrawn from sale. Goldmann held thatthis was a case of prior censorship, which was unconstitutional under the guaranteesof a free press. The New Jersey legislature, he pointed out, had provided other meansof protecting community morals; no law gave the prosecutor the power to censorbooks. (This decision and opinion were cited by Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., inhis opinion for the United States supreme court in the leading cases of Roth v. UnitedStates, 354 U.S. 476, 1957 and Bantam Books v. Sullivan, 372 U.S. 58, 1963.)

Goldmann's contributions to the law and the legal profession include his term ofoffice as president of the Mercer County Bar Association and his work on behalfof the Education Law Center, which provided free legal representation to publicschools. Goldmann served as a member of the board of trustees of the Center forten years, and as board chairman for five.

Despite Goldmann's manifold judicial and professional involvements, he foundtime for other endeavors: member of the board of trustees of the Trenton PublicLibrary; president of the Trenton Council of Social Agencies; founder and presidentof the Trenton Council of Human Relations; co-founder of the Trenton SymphonyOrchestra; and president of the regional Conference of Christians and Jews. Gold-mann was active in the Trenton United Fund, and co-authored a history of Trenton.He also wrote a history of Morven, the long-time official home of the governor ofNew Jersey in Princeton.

Goldmann was Trenton's leading Jewish citizen. At various times he served aspresident of the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Federation of Greater Trenton,Jewish Family Service, and Greenwood House. Goldmann was a life member of theboard of governors of the American Jewish Committee. Although he was promi-nently identified with Trenton's Reform Har Sinai Temple, in his biographicalsketch in Who's Who in American Jewry he labeled himself as both Conservativeand Reform. Such identification is a key to the character of the man—Goldmanncould not be fenced in, especially when it was a question of where he belonged asa Jew. Goldmann's Jewishness was open-ended, eclectic, all-embracing. NothingJewish was foreign to him.

It is a measure of the respect that New Jerseyites accorded Goldmann, that whenhe retired from the bench in 1971, three former governors and the chief justice ofthe New Jersey supreme court spoke at a testimonal dinner given in his honor.Goldmann was a judge in the Biblical, Hebraic sense of shofet, i.e., a leader whomanifests a concern for the totality of human relationships. In this respect he wasan exceptional person, a well-nigh unique man in his time.

MILTON R. KONVITZ

Mordecai M. Kaplan (1881-1983)

A HE 20TH CENTURY in American Jewish history could well be desig-nated as the Age of Kaplan. Mordecai M. Kaplan's conception of Judaism as theevolving religious civilization of the Jewish people was so encompassing, so over-arching, that no aspect of Jewish life stands outside its orbit. Kaplan's magnumopus, Judaism as a Civilization—first published in 1934 and last reissued in 1981on the occasion of the centennial of Kaplan's birth—offers a blueprint of how theJewish people can reconstruct its ideology and communal life so as to live creativelyand find in Judaism the source of its salvation, i.e., spiritual fulfillment and humanself-realization.

When Kaplan died on November 8, 1983, in his 103rd year, his death sent shockwaves through the Jewish world; there was an awareness that his departure fromthe scene symbolized the end of an era. Gone was the thunderous voice to prod,challenge, and guide. Always ahead of his time, Kaplan raised the issues that neededto be raised when others preferred to ignore them. Fearless in diagnosing the illsin Jewish life, he was equally fearless in prescribing radical changes, and, indeed,in implementing them. The institution of bat mitzvah, the recognition of equalityfor women in all areas of Jewish religious life, the concept of peoplehood, the viewof the synagogue as a Jewish center, the rejection of the "chosen people" doctrine,the reevaluation of Jewish tradition in the light of naturalism and transnaturalism,the revision of the liturgy, the recognition of the need for Diaspora Jews to live intwo civilizations, and the appreciation of the revolutionary character of Zionism andof American democracy—these are some of the salient features that come to mindin contemplating Kaplan's impact on contemporary Judaism.

Background and Activities

Kaplan was born on June 11, 1881 in Sweziany, a small town in the province ofVilna, which was then part of the Russian pale of settlement. His mother Anna camefrom hasidic stock, while his father Israel, a rosh yeshivah, was a mitnagged. Kaplanconsidered himself fortunate in having inherited a "tradition of deep piety andyearning for beauty, on the one side, and a tradition of intellectual sincerity andmoral forthrightness on the other." His early education followed the well-knownpattern of the East European shtetl, with its cheders, and a "Jewish life so self-sufficient and untouched by modern trends that it might well have belonged to [the]17th or 18th century." In such a setting being a Jew was a full-time affair, withSabbaths and festivals transforming the town into what then seemed an "earthlyparadise of leisure, luster and cheer." These early childhood experiences may haveplayed a key determinative role in shaping Kaplan's vision of Judaism as an

404

M O R D E C A I M. K A P L A N ( 1 8 8 1 - 1 9 8 3 ) / 405

all-encompassing civilization. At the same time, Kaplan was fully aware that Juda-ism could not be perpetuated by mere nostalgia. On the contrary, he insisted thatcreative and original thinking, attuned to present-day realities and future possibili-ties, was indispensable for Jewish survival.

In his eighth year, Kaplan's mother brought him to Paris, even as his fatherpreceded them to New York to assume the position of dayyan in the office of RabbiJacob Joseph. The move to Paris marked the beginning of what Kaplan latercharacterized as "living in two civilizations." Being a Jew became a "problem," inthat the young Mordecai had to invent excuses for not writing in school on theSabbath, and for refusing to participate in other activities as well. After a year's stayin Paris, Kaplan and his mother sailed for the United States.

Kaplan's education in New York was initially limited to the traditional curricu-lum of Talmud and Bible, with only a smattering of general education. At age 12,however, Kaplan was enrolled in public school. A few months before his barmitzvah he was also admitted to a preparatory class at the Jewish TheologicalSeminary (JTS), then a small, struggling institution for the training of traditional,Americanized, English-speaking rabbis. Kaplan continued his secular studies atCity College and Columbia University. In 1903 he was ordained a rabbi by the JTS.

Kaplan's JTS and college years had the effect, as he put it, of "deepening hisJewish consciousness, but troubling his Jewish conscience." His studies at the JTSdid not help bridge the intellectual gap between the world of Bible and Talmud andmodern philosophical and scientific thought. Kaplan's private studies with theBiblical scholar Arnold Ehrlich, as well as his readings in sociology, anthropology,and philosophical pragmatism convinced him of the human source of all religions,including Judaism. No longer could he subscribe to a belief in divine revelation,miracles, the Mosaic authorship of the Torah, and the objective reality of a supernat-ural God. Yet Kaplan was also fully aware that the religious quest was an indispens-able part of human experience.

A year after his ordination, Kaplan accepted a position at Kehilath Jeshurun, anOrthodox congregation in the Yorkville section of New York. Kaplan's strict adher-ence to Jewish ritual and the fact that he did not have to raise theological issueswhen preaching enabled him to function in the post. However, his intellectualintegrity, restless mind, and realization that Judaism could not survive by payinglip service to untenable beliefs soon prompted him to speak out. When Kaplanadvocated a partial observance of the Sabbath if it could not be observed in whole,he was denounced for giving official sanction to desecration of the holy day. Thisincident convinced him that a constructive adjustment of Judaism to modern lifecould not take place as long as the supernatural world view of traditional Judaismwas maintained.

At this point Kaplan formulated two ideas which became central to his thinking,forming the basis of his philosophy of Reconstructionism. He argued that thedoctrine of Torah min ha-shamayim (Torah as divine revelation) should not be seenas an end in itself, but rather as a means of stressing the supreme worth and


authoritative character of Torah. Divine origin, he maintained, was attributed to theTorah in order to establish its central role in the life of the Jewish people; the Biblewas the diary of the Jewish people in its struggle to render life meaningful and just.Leaning on the writings of Matthew Arnold, Kaplan put forward the idea that Godwas the power in the universe that made for righteousness and salvation, enablingman to realize his full potential. God is man's ongoing discovery, a process, a formof becoming. Kaplan stripped supernaturalism of its doctrinal character andstressed its functional role in society.

Kaplan argued that throughout the ages, the Jewish people had been the centralreality in Judaism's universe of discourse. Judaism existed for the sake of the Jewishpeople, and not the Jewish people for the sake of Judaism. God and Torah couldonly be understood in terms of their relationship to the Jewish people; they weredynamic by virtue of the dynamism inherent in Jewish life itself. Kaplan attributedthis insight to the writings of Ahad Haam and the emergence of the Zionist move-ment. The survival of the Jewish people, he argued, was a function of its creativeresponse to various challenges posed over the ages. As long as the Jewish people hadthe will to survive, it would continue to reshape Judaism as a source of individualand communal self-realization.

Kaplan first developed these thoughts in a paper presented at the annual meetingof the Rabbinical Assembly in 1909. In the audience was Solomon Schechter,president of the JTS, who immediately invited Kaplan to head the school's newlyorganized teachers' institute. Thus began an association that was to last for over halfa century, until 1963, when Kaplan retired from the JTS faculty. Soon after assum-ing the direction of the teachers' institute, Kaplan began to teach homiletics. In lateryears he taught philosophies of religion and midrash.

Kaplan's teaching position at the JTS afforded him an opportunity to test out hisideas, and to reshape them as required. He exposed his students to the functionalmethod of interpreting sacred texts, posing the following questions: what values didthe text convey; how did the text relate to the life of its time; what import did ithave for the universal aspects of human nature? The last question reflected Kaplan'sconcept of the polarity of the universal and the particular, as well as the communityand the individual. Universal values, Kaplan argued, always found expression inconcrete, particular cultures and situations, while the individual could only realizehis destiny through the sustaining medium of a community.

On many occasions Kaplan shocked his students, most of whom came fromtraditional Orthodox backgrounds. He was intolerant of fuzzy thinking and artificialinterpretations. Kaplan sought to impress upon his students the need to break withtradition, so that the Jewish people could live creatively. His intellectual touchstonewas that ideas had meaning only in relationship to natural conditions and humanrelations. This applied with particular force to the God idea, which was to be judgedby whether or not it made a difference in human conduct and character.

Kaplan did not limit his activities to teaching at the JTS. Ideas, he believed,required institutions where they could be translated into action. Thus, when Jewsfrom Yorkville began to move to Manhattan's upper West Side, Kaplan urged the

M O R D E C A I M . K A P L A N ( 1 8 8 1 - 1 9 8 3 ) / 4 0 7

creation of a new kind of synagogue that would be a "veritable sanctuary of theJewish spirit, where everything of Jewish value would be represented." In 1917 theJewish Center, the first synagogue-center in the United States, opened its doors andKaplan agreed to become its rabbi (while continuing to teach at the JTS). Beforelong, however, his heterodox ideas brought him into conflict with the lay leadership,and he resigned.

A number of families followed Kaplan in leaving the Jewish Center. They wantedhim to be their rabbi, and with them he organized the Society for the Advancementof Judaism (SAJ) in 1921. The SAJ sought to develop an "organic, rational, ethical,and spiritual type of American Jewish life." At the SAJ, the bat mitzvah ceremonywas inaugurated, liturgical innovations were undertaken, and a journal, the SAJReview, was launched. It was in the pages of the SAJ Review that the term "Recon-structionism" made its first appearance. In January 1928 Kaplan wrote that theprincipal task facing American Jewry was to "reconstruct the Jewish civilization";the SAJ, he added, was to be a "branch of the Reconstructionist movement in Jewishlife."

Reconstructionism developed into a full-fledged movement only gradually. WhenThe Reconstructionist was launched in 1935, its initial sponsor was the SAJ. Onlyin 1940 did Kaplan create the Jewish Reconstructionist Foundation as an organiza-tional umbrella for his followers in the United States and Canada. The Foundationbecame the publisher of The Reconstructionist; it also published Kaplan's manybooks, as well as the various Reconstructionist prayerbooks, and the writings ofother Reconstructionist thinkers. Kaplan's chief interest at that point was to haveReconstructionism function as a school of thought, influencing the existing move-ments in Jewish life to move in the direction of Reconstructionism.

Kaplan was tireless in presenting his views to Jewish audiences across the lengthand breadth of North America. He gave direction to Jewish life by underscoring theneed for content and meaning. The term "Judaism," he argued, was no longer tobe a synonym for the Jewish religion, but was to denote the entire civilization ofthe Jewish people.

The actual organization of Reconstructionism as a movement was undertaken byIra Eisenstein, Kaplan's associate from 1932 to 1945, and his successor at the SAJfrom 1945 to 1954. In 1959 Eisenstein assumed the leadership of the Reconstruc-tionist Foundation. Under his aegis Reconstructionist congregations and havurotwere established in various places in the United States and Canada. In 1968 Eisen-stein became the founding president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College inPhiladelphia. With the establishment of that institution, Reconstructionism becamea fourth movement within the religious configuration of American Jewry.

Kaplan's Philosophy of ReconstructionismIn addition to hundreds of articles appearing in publications of every sort, and

countless unsigned editorials in The Reconstructionist, Kaplan penned ten majorbooks. He also co-edited The New Haggadah, as well as four Reconstructionist


prayerbooks (Sabbath, high holy days, festivals, and daily). Reference should alsobe made to the daily journal that Kaplan kept for more than eight decades, andwhich will become available to researchers in five years.

Kaplan's major works are the following: Judaism as a Civilization (1934); Juda-ism in Transition (1935); The Meaning of God in Modern Jewish Religion (1937);The Future of the American Jew (1948); A New Zionism (1955); Questions Jews Ask(1956); Judaism Without Supernaturalism (1958); The Greater Judaism in the Mak-ing (1960); The Purpose and Meaning of Jewish Existence (1964); and The Religionof Ethical Nationhood (1970). To these, one must add Kaplan's critical edition andtranslation, with an introduction, of Moses Hayyim Luzatto's Mesillat Yesharim(The Path of the Upright), published by the Jewish Publication Society in 1936.

The starting point of Kaplan's approach to Jewish life is the view that withoutJews there can be no Judaism, and without Judaism there can be no Jews. The Jewin the modern world is "maladjusted morally and spiritually as a result of losingthe traditional concept of salvation"; he is "torn between the claims of the Jewishpast and the pressing and immediate claims of the complex life about him." Thetraditional outlook of Judaism is supernatural in its assumptions, in the demandsit makes of Jews, and in the promise of salvation it holds out for the individual andthe group. Yet the worldview of contemporary man is this-worldly, informed by thescientific view of reality, which refuses to accord factual objectivity to the assump-tions of traditional Judaism. Judaism has therefore become a problem to "those whofind that they cannot be spiritually whole and happy if they repudiate their Jewishheritage, and who, at the same time, are fairly convinced that to expect that heritageto function in the manner in which it did in the past, is neither desirable norpracticable. The Jews who represent the most vital and promising element in Jewrytoday are those to whom Judaism is a problem."

For the problem-Jews of today—and they included the founder of Reconstruc-tionism himself—Kaplan set out to provide a new program for Jewish life. This,indeed, was his lifelong concern; it is the main theme running through his writings.Kaplan stated: "The fact that there is a need for restating what Judaism shouldmean to the Jew of today, indicates that he wants a program that will help him toapply the general principles of Judaism to the manifold problems created by the newconditions of the contemporary world." He added: "Unless we feel that to belongto the Jewish people is a high spiritual adventure which has intrinsic value regardlessof consequences and practical ends, our Jewishness is tantamount to the interest ofcasual tourists in foreign countries."

Kaplan's view that the Jews exist as a people, and not merely as a religiousdenomination, was the basis for his "Copernican revolution" in Jewish life. A peoplefunctions "through the medium of a living civilization, which is an organic ensembleof the following cultural elements having their rootage in a specific territory: acommon tradition, a common language and literature, history, laws, customs andfolkways, with religion as the integrating and soul-giving factor of those elements."As a civilization, Judaism is dynamic, subject to change. Change is inherent in all


life, giving it continuity and preventing it from becoming fossilized. The differencebetween change in the modern world and in previous ages is that now it must beconscious and deliberate. For Kaplan this meant primarily freeing Jewish civiliza-tion from its supernatural foundations and reformulating it in the key of naturalism.

Jewish life must function in a way which permits the multiple components ofJewish civilization to be expressed. Hence the vital importance of the State of Israel.However, Jewish life in the Diaspora must also assume the character of a civiliza-tion. Thus Kaplan advocated the creation of democratically constituted, organiccommunities, which would develop institutional structures reflecting the richnessand diversity of Jewish civilization.

Given the broad scope of Jewish civilization, which makes it possible for peopleto relate to it on different levels, no one approach can govern all of Jewish life."Judaism as a civilization allows for diversity of belief and practice for all forms ofsocially useful activity and all types of group associations, without in any wayimpairing the organic character of Jewish life." In democratic societies, Kaplanmaintained, Jews will have to live in two civilizations, their own and that of themajority culture. The two civilizations should be seen as relating to each other increative tension, making for mutual enrichment.

Since Judaism is a civilization, the scope of Jewish education cannot be limitedto teaching the religious content of Judaism. Language, literature, history, art, andmusic must be accorded a place in the Jewish school curriculum so that Jews—Kaplan attached major importance to adult Jewish education—can become betterinformed about these aspects of their civilization.

Religion, the "soul" of Jewish civilization, exhibits a dynamic quality, serving tomake the Jew aware of the essential worth of the life pattern of his people. Thisworth is conveyed through sancta, including Torah, synagogue, Sabbath and festi-vals, Hebrew language, etc. While sancta grow out of the particular historicalexperience of a people, at their best they express universal values. Kaplan attachedgreat significance to public worship, seeing it as a "means of giving a people thatcollective consciousness which unifies its life and integrates all of its individuals intoan organized totality." "Without religion, the energies of Jewish life are bound tobe those of fear; with it, those of hope," Kaplan asserted.

Central to any religion is its God idea, which functions as a "correlate, orreflection, of that which [man] regards as salvation, or the fulfillment of humandesjiny." "Since human life is anything but static," Kaplan maintained, "an ideaof salvation, or of God, must be dynamic." Kaplan's faith in God—and it was justthat, a leap of faith—consisted in his belief that "there are forces and relationshipsin the world which are forever making a cosmos out of chaos." These forces andrelationships are the "power on which we rely for the regeneration of society."Kaplan gradually moved from a naturalistic view of God to what he termed "trans-naturalism": "Transnaturalism is that extension of naturalism which takes intoaccount much that mechanistic, or materialist, or positive science is incapable ofdealing with. Transnaturalism reaches out into the domain where mind, personality,


purpose, ideals, values, and meanings dwell. [It] has a language of its own, thelanguage of simile, metaphor, and poetry. In that universe of discourse, belief in Godspells trust in life and in man."

Kaplan's fundamental faith was expressed in a prayer which he penned, andwhich is included in all Reconstructionist prayerbooks.

God is in the faithBy which we overcomeThe fear of loneliness, of helplessness,Of failure and of death.

God is in the hopeWhich, like a shaft of light,Cleaves the dark abysmsOf sin, of suffering, and of despair.

God is in the loveWhich creates, protects, forgives.His is the spiritWhich broods upon the chaos men have wroughtDisturbing its static wrongs,And stirring into life the formless beginningsOf the new and better world.

No aspect of Kaplan's thought was subjected to more severe criticism than hisrepudiation of the "chosen people" concept. Ultimately, this rejection was rootedin ethical considerations: "The very assumption of a predetermined and permanentsuperiority, no matter in what respect, does not lend itself to reinterpretation.. . . By no kind of dialectics is it possible to remove the odium of comparison fromany reinterpretation which makes invidious distinctions between one people andanother." In place of chosenness, Kaplan advocated the notion of vocation. Everypeople, he argued, "should discover its vocation or calling, as a source of religiousexperience, and as a medium of salvation to those who share it."

ConclusionIn a major study of Reconstructionism, published in the 1970 AMERICAN

JEWISH YEAR BOOK, Charles Liebman pointed out that while the ideas ofReconstructionism had many followers, the Reconstructionist movement was ratherlimited in scope. This should come as no surprise. The total concern of Kaplan'sthought was such that no single movement or organization could possibly encom-pass it. Indeed, for many decades Kaplan hesitated to have Reconstructionismbecome a movement, preferring instead to have it function as a school of thought.By now, however, Reconstructionism as a movement is a fact of American Jewishlife. It remains to be seen whether Reconstructionism can develop a full communityprogram out of its own resources.


Kaplan's place in Jewish life is assured. He was at once radical and traditional,seeking to confer wholeness upon the Jewish people, even while reconstituting thebasis for Jewish civilization. Forthrightly, Kaplan stated his position: "The Jew willhave to save Judaism before Judaism will be in a position to save the Jew."
