Jewish Science is aJudaic spiritualmovement comparable to theNew Thought Movement. Many of its members also attend services at conventionalsynagogues.^[1]

Jewish Science is an interpretation ofJewish philosophy that was originally conceived by RabbiAlfred Geiger Moses in the early 1900s in response to the growing influence ofChristian Science and the New Thought Movement. Rather than the paternal God figure encountered inHebrew 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."^[1] His fundamental teachings are found in his 1916 bookJewish Science: Divine Healing in Judaism. The movement was institutionalized in 1922 with RabbiMorris Lichtenstein's founding of the Society of Jewish Science.^[2]

Thanks to radio broadcasts onWMCA and the establishment of theJewish Science Interpretermagazine the movement attracted numerous adherents, thereby helping its rise to prominence in the Jewish community.

In 1938,Tehilla Lichtenstein became the spiritual leader of the Society of Jewish Science in New York, making her the first Jewish American woman to serve as the spiritual leader of an ongoing Jewish congregation, although she was not ordained.^[3][4]

Currently, the Society's "Home Center" and synagogue is located in midtown Manhattan, New York.^{[citation needed]} The Society also maintains a congregation in Los Angeles California, and many study groups around the country which focus on each of the main texts of Jewish Science.^[1]

Jewish Science leaderMorris Lichtenstein foundaffirmative prayer to be particularly useful because, he believed, it provided the personal benefits of prayer without requiring the belief in a supernatural God who could suspend the laws of nature.^[2] He considered affirmative prayer to be a method to access inner power that could be considered divine, but not supernatural. He taught that the origins of affirmative prayer can be found in the Hebrew Bible's Book ofPsalms, and that affirmations, or affirmative prayers, are best offered in silence.^[2]
