This session will take a look at some passages in Mordecai Kaplan's famous 'Judaism as a Civilization.' We will consider how Kaplan thinks about what Jews do and don't share in common with other minority communities in the United States. In particular, we will look at these passages in the current context of resurgent anti-Semitism.
