Abstract:
Long considered a staunch opponent of any form of mysticism, American Conservative Judaism has seen significant change on this field during the past twenty-five years. Students of Kabbalah and Hasidism, once outliers in Conservative institutions, shared their interest through social media and in congregational as well as academic life. Some were inspired to pursue this interest during their years in rabbinical school, but for all students today, such studies are not only legitimate but encouraged and supported. Conservative liturgical texts of the past generation also reflect this development. This direction is likely to continue under current rabbinical teachers and leaders.
