to his knees), but otherwise, his
jovial appearance as Santa was
perfect, and the shore patrol men
had all they could do to keep the
mob of moppets from rushing
forward TO embrace the red-clad
figure with the traditional cot
ton white beard. AT that, two
tykes took off and made it across
the landing ramp before they
could be thwarted. One was
grabbed and rode triumphantly
on Santa'S burly shoulder until
he was enveloped in the hys-

Dr. Kaplan Exerts Great Influence lin Jewish Thinking

noting their own religion a n d
ethics, fostering Jewish education,
and Jewish social welfare. He at
taches great Importance to his
new concept of the organic COM
munity, the social framework
which would hold together all
Jews interested in the future of
Jewish group life. In the organic
community all who desire to be
known as Jews are enabled to feel
that they belong" to the Jewish
community which is concerned
with their well being, and they
will no more feel socially isolated
and unwanted. (Such an expert
ment is being carried on at Pasa-
dena, Calif.)
Another important tenet in DR..
Kaplan's philosophy is his faith
in democracy. The essence of de-
mocracy is the protection of the
rights of every human being, Sc
curing for him the necessities of
life and helping him to make the
most out of his life; that justice
and kindness instead of tyranny
and cruelty prevail in all human
relationships. In Judaism the dig
nifty of every human being is en-
phasized, and it calls for social
order that combines the maximum
of Individual liberty with tn e
maximum of social cooperation.
Deeply interested in democracy
within Jewish communal life, DR..
Kaplan speaks with daring frank
ness and courage of the type of
leadership the American Jewish
community needs. He contends
that the measure of communal
leadership must be the leaders
JeWishness and his willingness to
fight for democracy. Jewish COM
munal life, in conformity with
democratic principles.
The Arizona post., 1951-10-05

Kaplan, approaching the study of
Jewish group life in America from
the anthropological and sociology
cal point of view, observed that
Judaism in America was threat
ened by strong forces of disinte-
grafton; that there was growing a
widespread ignorance of things
Jewish, and a spiritual demorali-
cation. He found the modern Jew
perplexed and in a predicament;
that Eat no time in the past have
so many Jews regarded tn m
selves so trapped by their Juda-
ism and tried so frantically to
break away from it" The modern
Jew who lacks faith in the value
of Judaism tends, DR.. Kaplan fur
Their observes, to hate himself, to
hate his parents, to hate his peo-
pie, and to hate his Gentle neigh
bors because they identify h i'm
with his despised people. He is at
peace neither with himself nor
with his world, and not having
made his peace with the world he
cannot experience the peace of
God. This unprecedented mental
affliction,-says DR.. Kaplan, = IS
fatal not only to the collective life
of the group but also to the per-
sonal health and happiness of the
Individual, and to the best inter
ests of society in general.
RecOnstructiOniSm
To counteract those threatening
forces of disintegration, DR.. Kap-
Ian attempted earnestly to adopt
a philosophy by which Judaism
can become vital and meaning
full faith to the Jew of today. This
philosophy finds its expression In
the new school of thought which
he had founded, known as Recon
structionism.
The fundamental premise in DIR.
Kaplan's system of thought is that
The Arizona post., 1951-10-05

Judaism is an evolving religious
civilization. That means, that it
grows out of the experiences of
the Jewish people and is domin-
ated by the purpose of making
Jewish life worthwhile; it in
cludes language, law, folkways as
well as religious beliefs and prac-
tees. 1t is also the common bond
that unites Jews throughout the
world.
An essential principle in Recon
structionism is the Jewish COM
munity of Israel where Jews con-
stitute majority of the popula-
ton and live completely within a
Jewish civilization, and w h C h
also serves as the cultural center
of World Jewry.
Organic Community
Unlike many modern Jewish
thinkers, DR.. Kaplan's attitude to
Jewish life in the Diaspora is a
positive one. He believes that
Jewish life in the Diaspora, and
especially in the United States,
can be made meaningful by pro-

VERY few men in contemporary
' American Jewish life h ave
exerted as great an influence on
modern Jewish thinking as DR..
Kaplan, who for almost half cen
tury has been cropping and search
ing for a philosophy of Jewish
life.
In the limits of this article it
is hardly possible to mention even
in the bareSt outline the basic
thoughts of his comprehensive
philosophy Of Jewish life. Here
we shall attempt to point out only
a few of has basic concepts.
Thinker
Like the ancient "stOrmerS of
heaven DR.. Kaplan, w d ely
known as an independent, pro-
found thinker, is a man of deep
convictions and of daring courage.
He occupies an outstanding place
among contemporary Jewish re-
ligious leaders and social thinkers
by virtue of his enriching modern
Jewish thought, with such con-
structive concepts as Judaism as
a religious civilization, living in
two civilizations: Organic Com
munity as the social structure for
American Jewry, Democracy as
a faith, Jewish status and related
topics. He saw the need for study
and analysis of the C h a n 6 e S,
trends, and problems of American
Jewry. In all his efforts as teacher
Cat the Jewish Theological Semi
nary), lecturer, pulpiteer, a n d
author, DR.. Kaplan is motivated
by deep concern with the con-
tinuity and creative survival of
Jewish group life and Judaism.
