time spanning from the late 1920s to the 1940s. The movement views
Judaism as a progressively evolving civilization. There is substantial
theological diversity within the movement. Reconstructionist Judaism is
the first major movement of Judaism to originate in North America. More resources are available through the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation.
