Visionary solutions for a community ripe for transformational
change from fourteen leading innovators of Jewish life.
"Jewish Megatrends offers a vision for a community that can
simultaneously strengthen the institutions that serve those who
seek greater Jewish identification and attract younger Jews, many
of whom are currently outside the orbit of Jewish communal life.
Schwarz and his collaborators provide an exciting path, building on
proven examples, that we ignore at our peril." from the
Foreword
The American Jewish community is riddled with doubts about the
viability of the institutions that well served the Jewish community
of the twentieth century. Synagogues, Federations and Jewish
membership organizations have yet to figure out how to meet the
changing interests and needs of the next generation.
In this challenging yet hopeful call for transformational
change, visionary leader Rabbi Sidney Schwarz looks at the social
norms that are shaping the habits and lifestyles of younger
American Jews and why the next generation is so resistant to
participate in the institutions of Jewish communal life as they
currently exist. He sets out four guiding principles that can drive
a renaissance in Jewish life and gives evidence of how, on the
margins of the Jewish community, those principles are already
generating enthusiasm and engagement from the very millennials that
the organized Jewish community has yet to engage.
Contributors leading innovators from different sectors of the
Jewish community each use Rabbi Schwarz's framework as a
springboard to set forth their particular vision for the future of
their sector of Jewish life and beyond.
