The Jewish community has lost some of the most sensitive
spiritual souls of this generation. They are Jews who were looking
for God and found spiritual homes outside of Judaism. Their
journeys traversed the Jewish community, but nothing there beckoned
them. The creation of synagogue-communities in which the voices of
seekers can be heard and their questions can be asked will
challenge many loyalist Jews. It will upset and enrage them. But it
would also enrich them. from Chapter 18
In this fresh look at the spiritual possibilities of American
Jewish life, Rabbi Sidney Schwarz presents the framework for a new
synagogue model the synagogue community and its promise to
transform our understanding of the synagogue and its potential for
modern Judaism.
Schwarz profiles four innovative synagogues one from each of the
major movements of Judaism that have had extraordinary success with
their approach to congregational life and presents practical ways
to replicate their success.
Includes a discussion guide for study groups and book clubs as
well as a new afterword by the author describing developments in
synagogue change projects since the book was first published.
