With the impact of modernization and secularization in the modern period, radical new ideas have repeatedly challenged traditional Jewish norms of belief and practice. Some have even posited that as an “outsider” minority, Jews have a particular affinity for revolutionary ideologies such as socialism and communism. In this class we will look at a series of individuals and movements that rebelled against mainstream Jewish society, from the seventeenth century philosopher Barukh Spinoza to the founders of secular Jewish nationalism (i.e. Zionism) to the contemporary American Jewish “Heebster” movement. Among the questions to be asked: What is the line between rejecting tradition outright and rebelling against the status quo in order to bring about constructive reform? In an era of increasing diversity, is there still a Jewish mainstream against which to rebel?
