Author, lecturer, and philosopher Dr. Eugene Borowitz discusses the emergence of Conservative Judaism in the United States. This lecture is part of a series exploring the modern Jewish identity. Borowitz contends that the American Conservative movement began with the increased immigration of Eastern European Jews in the late 19th century. These immigrant communities settled in the same neighborhoods and retained more religious and cultural traditions than the Germanic Jewish immigrants before them. This created a rift between the established, assimilated Jewish community and the newer immigrants. Borowitz credits the cultural retention of Conservative Judaism for creating “the sense of the Jewish people as a people.” The lecture is followed with questions from the audience.
