The movement for religious reform in modern Judaism represents one of the most significant phenomena in Jewish history during the last two hundred years. It introduced new theological conceptions and innovations in liturgy and religious practice that affected millions of Jews; first in central and Western Europe and later in the United States.Today Reform Judaism is one of the three major branches of Jewish faith. Bringing to life the ideas; issues; and personalities that have helped to shape modern Jewry; Response to Modernity offers a comprehensive and balanced history of the Reform Movement; tracing its changing configuration and self-understanding from the beginnings of modernization in late 18th century Jewish thought and practice through Reform's American renewal in the 1970s.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. interesting insightBy Sid MooreThis is an interesting book that reveals a different side of the American Revolution. It also shows that while some things change through time; others have remained the same from the beginning of our country to present times. In that I mean the manner US military veterans have been treated by the government they have fought for and defended. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in US military history and people interested in the Revolutionary War and the early formation of the country.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. useful history of an important institutionBy JohnI was interested in gaining in-depth understanding of the founding and operation of the Society of the Cincinnati and I found this book to be perfect for my purposes.John Christmas; author of "Democracy Society"
