Viewing the Conservative Movement at a turning point, this book
analyzes the problems facing the largest religious movement in the
American Jewish community and outlines a plan of action for the
future. Elazar and Geffen suggest: clarifying ideology, mission,
and purpose, finding the right balance between traditionalists and
advocates of change, unifying movement institutions in a
cooperative effort, staunching the decline of membership to the
left, recapturing the loyalty of lapsed adherents, closing the gap
in observance between the laity and the standard bearers of the
movement, developing the Movement in Israel and world-wide, and
strengthening ties with Jewish federations and other Jewish
communal bodies. The authors propose that the Conservative
Movement's remedying of these problems will benefit not just
American, but all world Jewry.
