Jewish traditions have always encompassed multiple authentic interpretations - a reality that poses unique challenges for Conservative Judaism in an era of unprecedented social transformation. Drawing on the Talmudic principle that competing schools of thought can both represent "words of the living God," this investigation explores how Jewish tradition can be meaningfully transmitted while adapting to contemporary circumstances. Through historical analysis and theological reflection, including rabbinic sources, contemporary scholarship, and comparative cultural examples, the research reveals the inherently fragile and selective nature of tradition. Communities historically recover, invent, or adapt elements to serve present needs, as demonstrated by Israel's embrace of Masada as a national symbol and the Shah of Iran's reinvention of Persian imperial tradition. The methodology employs both historical analysis and theological reflection, drawing on rabbinic sources, contemporary scholarship, and comparative examples from other cultures. At its core, Conservative Judaism must now confront whether traditional sources grounded in Jewish powerlessness remain relevant in an age of Jewish sovereignty and global citizenship. The findings suggest that transmitting tradition in post-modern circumstances requires accepting what Peter Berger terms the "heretical imperative" of choice rather than fate.
