One of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan’s major contributions to modern Jewish identity was to note that Judaism has always placed the emphasis on belonging over believing. By focusing on peoplehood and the notion of belonging to the Jewish People as the normative criteria for defining oneself as a Jew, the founder of the Reconstructionist approach to Judaism was articulating the way most Jews in the modern period self-identify. But more than that, Rabbi Kaplan also captured the traditional uniqueness of Judaism as being more than a religious faith between the individual and God.
