A rabbi of the Reconstructionist movement has urged Jewish community centers to remain open on the Sabbath to serve “the needs of those who do not hold to Orthodoxy.” Rabbi Arthur Gilbert, dean of the new Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia, also declared that the Sabbath “must be re-established not as a restrictive day of Fourth Century worship and rest, but rather as a 20th Century turn-on to relevance.”
