Inclusivism and Pluralism

“The difference between Jewish inclusivism and pluralism… is this. Inclusivism asserts that there is an authoritative set of beliefs that constitute Jewish faith. It involves, among other things, belief in the Divine revelation of the Torah and the authority of rabbinic tradition, interpretation, and law…Inclusivism preserves Orthodoxy while not excluding the non-Orthodox from the covenantal community. A Jewish pluralist, on the other hand, would argue that liberal, Reform, Conservative, and secular Judaisms are equally legitimate ways of understanding the Jewish destiny. None is an error.”
