r oad pluralism. In
idaism, the words Re-
rm, Conservative and
l econstructionist were
eated. The term Ortho-
)x replaced traditional.
r id we began to see secu-
r Jews, divorced from
ligion, but identifying
l emselves as Jews."
Dr. Wigoder said there
e even more sub-groups,
ch as converts and Jews
ho identify with Israel,
ith ways of life and with
lkways.
"A Jew is not parallel to
Christian. Christianity
plies belief in Jesus
rist and God. You don't
ye to believe in God to
a Jew," Dr. Wigoder
id. "Jewish culture is
oader than Judaism."
Dr. Wigoder said tradi-
onal Jewish religion
lieves in practice, not
ith alone. He identified
veral strands of custom
hich form Jewish culture
among them, a ritual
d legal belief in the
ivine origin of Jewish
w — one that can be
apted but not changed,
hical considerations and
e idea of peoplehood.
"Dissenting sects have
iffered on interpretation,
of law. We identify with
ach other and with
3 rael. There is a new
tensity of peoplehood
e to the Holocaust," Dr.
igoder said.
"The Reform used to
own upon the idea of
rael. Until the Holo-
ust. Then we all real-
ed the need for a home-
d."
Hebrew, Dr. Wigoder
id, also binds Jews as
e language of a people.
Throughout the Dias-
ra, and into modern
mes, Jews maintain ele-
ents which keep them
gether. Dr. Wigoder
lied it "cultural Zion-
m" — a way of creating
nd maintaining Judaism
mpletely outside of
rael.
Many contributions to
estern society have
rown out of that culture,
r. Wigoder said.
"Our numbers have
lways been small, but
ur impact has been
arge," he said.
Christianity and Islam
eveloped out of Judaism's
onotheism. Twenty per-
ent of Nobel Prize win-
ers have been Jewish.
?Alucation, social aware-
ess and a democratic tra-
ition are among Juda-
sm's gifts to modern sod-
ty, Dr. Wigoder said. 0
