Jewish social activism
Description of research/teaching activities
My research has focused on Reconstructionist Judaism, one of the four main denominations in contemporary Jewish life. Specifically, I have written on its interpretation and adaptation of the traditional liturgy and its creation of new prayer texts and forms of worship, its quest for norms and standards, and its interpretation of Jewish holidays. I am presently beginning a multi-year study of the role of social activism in contemporary Jewish spirituality.
