Beit Kaplan’s MISSION

Credit: Sardes Decor

Beit Kaplan is a forum for the cultivation of a flourishing, dynamic Jewish civilization. With deep ties to Reconstructionist Judaism, we advocate Ahavat Yisrael – love for the diverse, creative Jewish people and for its ancestral homeland – and the centrality of Jewish peoplehood.

We embrace the stream of thought, guidance, and practice of our ancestors, the teachings of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan and other modern thinkers, and engagement with the thoughtful, disciplined incorporation of our contemporaries.

We unequivocally support the right of Israel to exist, and to exist as a Jewish state.
