The Reconstructionist Journal was a Jewish magazine published by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association.
History
In 1935, the favorable reception to Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan's book Judaism as a Civilization inspired Kaplan to launch a magazine, The Reconstructionist, for the Reconstructionist movement.[1] The magazine was established by Mordecai Kaplan, Milton Steinberg, Eugene Kohn, and Ira Eisenstein.[2] It was renamed The Reconstructionist Journal in 1996 and ceased publication in 2007.[3]
In 1953, The Reconstructionist took the position that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were guilty. However, they held that execution was two harsh a punishment, mentioning that the English spies Klaus Fuchs and Allan Nunn May received sentences that were less harsh.[4]
