Dynamic Judaism: The Essential Writings of Mordecai M. Kaplan
by Emanuel S. Goldsmith Mel Scult Mordecai M. KaplanIn a sense, Mordecai Kaplan's life embodies the American Jewish experience of the first half of the twentieth century. The fact that he died in 1983 at the age of 102 means that, in a literal sense, he lived through the whole saga of the American Jew in our times. Arriving here as a boy, growing up in New York City, becoming thoroughly Americanized, he struggled to find ways of making Judaism compatible with the American experience and the modern temper. As rabbi, teacher, writer, and lecturer, he spearheaded the founding of new institutions and stimulated the reconsideration of long-held assumptions. Kaplan's life is a model for all of us.
