Good information to have on Conservative Judaism

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am becoming a Conservative Jew so this book gives you an idea of what to expect as you become one.

Verified Purchase

This is a Wonderfully detailed book. I feel that this is a great place for anyone to start learning about Conservative Judaism.

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018

Written by the late Conservative rabbi and scholar Neil Gillman, this volume serves as a brief-yet-informative history of Conservative Judaism. More broadly, the book discusses the development of Jewish practice in Germany, the United States, and the State of Israel. The Reform and Modern Orthodox movements are featured in greater detail than I expected them to be. "Conservative Judaism: The New Century" is very well-written and contains a number of historical illustrations and photographs. Two pitfalls stem from the author's (understandable) bias: A heavy skew toward the history of the Jewish Theological Seminary at the expense of discussing other parts of the Conservative movement, and later apologetics that seem to deny - or make excuses for - serious problems that the author himself admits to earlier in the book. Despite my criticism, I found this to be a solid, worthwhile read. I would encourage others to study the book with an open mind.

Enlightening, thorough and objective history�

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2001

"Reader from Stony Brook" and "William Adam Friedman" (reviewers here) have summarized this volume `dead on.' They missed a couple of things that impressed me, however. First, the selection of photographs and illustrations (all in black and white) is astounding. These flawlessly complement the adjacent text, and deserve special mention for their historical relevance. (Rabbi Gillman gives appropriate credit in the Acknowledgements!). As a work of history this volume is excellent - those outside Conservatism (and outside of Judaism) will find it of permanent reference value. A second feature I liked is that the significant figures of modern Judaism get both photos (or equivalent) and historical sidebars (set outside the text as if Talmudic commentary). From the 19th century peer the faces of Moses Mendelssohn, Zechariah Frankel, Samson Raphael Hirsch, Isaac Mayer Wise, Alexander Kohut, and Sabato Morais. A dozen more figures from the 20th century American Judaism appear on these pages in their chronological turn. Third, readers should be aware that Rabbi Gillman is on the faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and served on the commission that drafted the 1988 Statement of Principles of Conservative Judaism. Consequently he personally knew many of the giants of the Conservative movement - his insights into personalities and events are keen (and sometimes sharp!). And finally, there is, interestingly enough, quite a lot about Reform, Orthodox, and Revisionist figures and ideas. When Rabbi Gillman's explains how Conservative Judaism diverges from other currents (sometimes forcefully) he is fair and factual in describing these differences. He even spends several pages elucidating the origins of the Union for Traditional Judaism, which split from the Conservative movement in 1990. This book is a bargain; having read it I would have paid triple the price (though I'm glad I didn't!)

Not Orthodox, Not Reform

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2002

Rabbi Gillman provides a fascinating history of the origins and development of the Conservative Movement, including its struggles to articulate a philosophical/theological basis for its position somewhere between Orthodox literalism and Reform individualism. I was unaware that the Reconstructionist Movement had its origins in those struggles (and indeed that Reconstructionist thought still plays a significant role in the Conservative articulation of its mission). I found the chapters on Conservative decision-making (concerning the admission of women to the rabbinate and the drafting of Emet Ve-Emunah) particularly enlightening in the emphasis on the role of the community and the viability of minority positions.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the origins of the modern American Jewish movements, as well as anyone interested in the Conservative Movement in particular. Rabbi Gillman admits that he is a partisan of the Conservative solution to the dilemma of practicing Judaism in the modern world, but he is generally fair and unbiased in his discussion of the other movements (although like most non-Orthodox he is unhappy with the role of the Orthodox rabbis in Israel). The book is well written and engaging, striking just the right balance between theoretical discussions and "mini-biographies" of the leaders of the Movement. Rabbi Gillman's ultimate concern is with how to nurture a community of committed Jews in the modern world, and that concern informs every page of this informative and thought-provoking book.
