Rabbi Kaplan held the first public celebration of a Bat Mitzvah in the United States in 1922. During the period from the 1920s to the 1940s, he and his son-in-law, Rabbi Ira Eisenstein, helped develop Reconstructionist Judaism into a major movement in North American Judaism.

While this book is very dated, it is still very also very much worth reading for the action items, the program that he list, and also for the structure and which he lays out his vision of civilizations in general, and Judaism in particular as a civilization.
His call for Judaism to become even more social justice oriented is extremely crucial in these days.
