Review By – May 23, 2023 In this deeply mov­ing new book, Michael Strass­feld — a retired pul­pit rab­bi — is both wor­ried and cau­tious­ly opti­mistic about the fate of lib­er­al Judaism in the twen­ty-first cen­tu­ry. He views Judaism as an his­tor­i­cal­ly evolv­ing civ­i­liza­tion, which reflects the influ­ence of Mordechai Kaplan, the founder of Reconstructionism.
