Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan

Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan z"l (1881-1983) is the founder of the Reconstructionist Movement of Judaism. He was a prolific diarist and frequent author. Kaplan's philosophy, theology, liturgical thoughts, social perspective, and ritual practices affect our generation of Jews as much as his--perhaps more.
