American Judaism, like much of American religion, has been punctuated by periods of religious revitalization, often known as "revivals" or "awakenings." Usually spearheaded by young Jews, dissatisfied with the religious ways of their parents and fearful
that Judaism will not survive unless it changes, these revitalization movements shaped the distinctive character of American Judaism, beginning in the nineteenth century, and more recently have reshaped it. These lectures will focus on several of these revitalization movements, and underscore their importance for renewing, strengthening and transforming American Jewish religious life.
