- Rabbi Kaplan held the first public celebration of a Bat Mitzvah in the United States in 1922. During the period from the 1920s to the 1940s, he and his son-in-law, Rabbi Ira Eisenstein, helped develop Reconstructionist Judaism into a major movement in North American Judaism.

Written right to left. Small illustrations in black and gray don't show off Leonard Weisgard's use of bright colors in his many children's books. The introduction explains the changes, omissions, and additions made.
Amazing insights into deep world of Judaism. Strong definitions of many movements of Judaism, including reconstructionist.
A contradiction that backed me away from this book. Kaplan writes of absorbing practices of other cultures for practice during times of leisure.

Some by way of thought, dance, spoken word, or integration with agrarian practices. I am interested to know reasons Kaplan mentioned native religions being unsophisticated.… (plus d'informations)
