| Zusammenfassung: | Until the 1950s it was assumed by everyone, including the Orthodox, that Orthodox belief and traditional Jewish observance were dying out. However, in the 1960s and 70s the Orthodox made a strong comeback, and traditional observances are spreading. When J was a student at the Reform Rabbinical school in the early 1960s less than 5% of the students ate kosher food. Now, over 1/3 of the students observe a kosher diet. Both the Conservative and Orthodox movements also report a resurgence of traditionalism. Several Ortho- dox synagogues, which had permitted men and women to sit together during services, now have re-established a partition to separate the sexes. 1 Orthodox women who married 20-30 years ago are sometimes embarrassed now to show people photographs of their wedding recep- tions, which picture men and women dancing together. 2 Young Conservative Rabbis rarely follow the liberal philosophy of Mordechai Kaplan, who was the chief mentor of the generation that was ordained in the 1930s and 40s. |
