About this title

Synopsis

A Guide to Jewish Practice, an excerpt from a long awaited guide to Jewish living is now available from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College Press. Written by Rabbid David Teutsch, A Guide to Jewish Practice includes an essay placing the current publication in the tradition of Reconstructionist thought, a list defining the Jewish values that guide Reconstructionist decision-making, and a section applying those values to kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. The last section includes commentary by 17 Reconstructionist rabbis and scholars whose views span the breadth of positions advocated within the Reconstructionist movement with regard to personal and communal practice and observance.

Jews who want Judaism to play a major role in their lives today need access to inherited Jewish traditions and rituals, values, and beliefs, Teutsch explains in his introduction.

"This Guide is designed to help Jewish tradition meet Jews where they are, while at the same time helping Jews to be open to the changes and adaptations needed for the renewal of Judaism in our time."
