''Judaism as a Civilization: Toward a Reconstruction of American-Jewish Life'' is a 1934 work on the Jewish religion and American Jewish life by Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan, the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism. The book is Kaplan's most notable work and has influenced a number of American Jewish thinkers. Kaplan work centers around the concept that Judaism ought not to be defined as the religion of the Jews, but the sum of Jewish religion, culture, language, literature and social organization. ==Background== In 1934, Kaplan published ''Judaism as a Civilization'', a seminal work that eventually provided the theological foundation for the new Reconstructionist movement. Kaplan was deeply influenced by the new field of sociology and its definition of "civilization" as characterized not only by beliefs and rituals, but also by art, culture, ethics, history, language, literature, social organization, symbols and local customs.〔(Mordecai M. Kaplan ). ''Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.'' rcc.edu. Accessed May 12, 2014.〕〔Kaplan, Mordecai M. ''Judaism as a Civilization''. Shocken Books. New York: 1967.〕 Kaplan argued that Judaism is in essence a religious civilization; the religious elements of Judaism are primarily human, naturalistic expressions of a specific culture. Kaplan felt that Jewish group survival in the United States depended on Jews reconstructing their lives on the cultural foundation of a historical peoplehood.〔"(Reconstructionism (Judaism) )."
