Reconstructionist Judaism
Reconstructionist Judaism is a denomination of Judaism with a relatively liberal set of beliefs:

- an individual's personal autonomy should generally override traditional Jewish law and custom, yet also take into account communal consensus,
- modern culture is accepted,
- traditional rabbinic modes of study, as well as modern scholarship and critical text study, are both valid ways to learn about religious texts,
- non-fundamentalist methods of teaching about Jewish principles of faith are acceptable, and no Jew needs to accept all, or any, principles of faith,
- the Jews are not a chosen people, miracles and theism are rejected.
These beliefs lead to a more traditional set of observances than is seen in Reform Judaism.
