Sažetak
This chapter discusses the changes in the self- understanding of American Reform Judaism (hereafter the Reform Movement) in the second half of the twentieth century and traces them back to the second half of the 19th century.1 This is done against the background of the Haskalah, which is the Jewish Enlightenment and emancipation movement. It developed in 18th century Europe as an effect of societal modernization processes. The Haskalah is the frame in which Jewish communities started to reconstruct their self-concep- tion in the increasingly secular environment of modern European societies. This re-orientation concerns the boundaries between religion and politics as well as the question of national and cultural belonging.2 Consequently, Jewish communities not only modernized their traditional way of life in the ghettos, but they also tried to strengthen their bonds with Christian majority societies. This resulted—among other things—in the modernization of Jewish educa- tion, accompanied by a revival of Hebrew and the assimilation of European languages. At large, the Haskalah aimed at the integration of Jews in modern European nation states and their recognition as equal citizens. In contrast to this cultural assimilation movement, political Zionism, which was established at the end of the 19th century, aimed at the foundation of a Jewish nation. From that time on, Zionism was at the center of heated debates in Reform Judaism.
