What I Learned and Didn’t Learn at the RRC
There is an old joke about Reconstructionist Jews. It goes: What do Reconstructionists do on Simchat Torah? Answer: They listen to a lecture on joy. I heard this joke when I was a student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) between 1976 and 1981. At the time, Reconstructionists told this joke about themselves. They enjoyed, it seems, having a bit of fun at their own expense. Whether Reconstructionists have such a sense of humor today, I am unable to say.
