This is the first of a three part series I recently gave through the Young Israel of Teaneck on the Making of Modern Judaism.  It focuses on the rise of the Reform movement from its earliest forms in Germany to its emergence as a full-fledged movement in the United States by the late 19th century.  The next two parts focus on two different responses of traditional Jewry to the nascent Reform movement: Ultra-Orthodoxy and Neo-Orthodoxy.
