Why have thousands of young Jews, otherwise unengaged with
formal Jewish life, started more than sixty innovative prayer
communities across the United States? What crucial insights can
these grassroots communities provide for all of us?
Rabbi Elie Kaunfer, one of the leaders of this revolutionary
phenomenon, offers refreshingly new analyses of the age-old
question of how to build strong Jewish community. He explores the
independent minyan movement and the lessons it has to teach about
prayer, community organizing and volunteer leadership, and its
implications for contemporary struggles in American Judaism.
Along with describing the growth of independent minyanim across
the country, he examines: The roles of liturgy, space, music and
youth in this new approach to prayer Lessons to be learned from the
concept of immersive, intensive Jewish learning in an egalitarian
context Jewish values in which we must invest to achieve a vibrant,
robust American Jewish landscape for the twenty-first century
