From Ideology to Liturgy: Reconstructionist Worship and American Liberal Judaism (Monographs of the Hebrew Union College Number 26)
Cincinnati: Hebrew Union College Press, (2002). Hardcover. 8vo. ix, 413pp. Red cloth with gold lettering on cover and spine in original printed dust jacket. First major study of the Reconstructionist Siddur. The author focuses on the life and thought of the movement's founder R. Mordecai Kaplan, how he influenced its liturgy and how it has evolved since his passing. This work is an important resource for understanding non-Orthodox Judaism in the United States and how it has changed over the course of the 20th century to serve the needs not of immigrants seeking to integrate into American society, but of Jews who can take their Americanism for granted. Dj slightly creased and stained. Overall in very good condition. vg. Item #35891
