Mordecai M. Kaplan
Abraham Joshua HeschelGreen is clearly following in the footsteps of his teacher Abraham Joshua Heschel, while Gillman is better understood as continuing the legacy of Heschel's colleague Mordecai M. Kaplan. ." Green often speaks of the school of "Neo-Hasidism," a loosely defined group of thinkers including Heschel and, of course, Green himself. Gillman, for his part, has publically stated that although he is institutionally connected to the Conservative movement, in his thinking he is a "Kaplanian." After looking at how these two approachs to theology , I will introduce Judith Plaskow, who comes at the questions from a different angle entirely, and ask the group to figure out which ideas are most congruent with their own way of understanding the issues.
