Book Synopsis
Offers a penetrating analysis of the American Jewish community, challenging synagogues to respond to a generation of seekers and to satisfy the spiritual hunger of the "new American Jew."Review Quotes
Rabbi Schwartz is the founder and president of PANIM: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Renewal, an educational foundation dedicated to the renewal of American Jewish Life. Here, he profiles four innovative synagogues, one from each of the movements in the American Jewish community, and shows how a revitalized approach to congregational life can transform the Jewish experience of individual Jews, whatever their affiliation. Each chapter is accompanied by a personal narrative tracing the experience of one member of each congregation. The book concludes with 10 strategies for transforming your congregation. This should be required reading for the boards of all our synagogues, not only for those people who have despaired of transforming their synagogues into spiritual homes.
