The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Jewish Science is a Judaic spiritual movement comparable with the New Thought Movement .1 Many of its members also attend services at conventional synagogues . It is an interpretation of Jewish philosophy that was originally conceived by Rabbi Alfred Geiger Moses in the early 1900s in response to the growing influence of Christian Science and the New Thought Movement. Rather than the paternal God figure encountered in Hebrew tradition, "Jewish Science views God as an energy or force penetrating the reality of the universe. God is the source of all reality, and not separate from but a real part of our world." His fundamental teachings are found in his 1916 book Jewish Science: Divine Healing in Judaism . The movement was institutionalized in 1922 with Rabbi Morris Lichtenstein 's founding of the Society of Jewish Science. Jewish Bulletin of Northern California .
