Emergent Communities and Legacy Institutions Investing Together
a.k.a. Emergent Seekers Do Go to Temple

February 13, 2019 By eJP Leave a Comment

By Rabbi Jen Gubitz It's Shabbat morning, October 27. On the other side of the river from our synagogue, Temple Israel of Boston, we’re gathered for Shabbat brunch in a Cambridge co-working space to explore the question: What is a soul? The group of young adults have wandered through wisdom drawn from Shabbat morning liturgy (Elohai Neshama), Mumford & Sons (Awake My Soul), and modern experiences (SoulCycle or “That’s soul crushing!”). … [Read more...] about Emergent Communities and Legacy Institutions Investing Together

February 7, 2019 By eJP 1 Comment

By David Brown and David Bernstein In light of the dizzying array of controversies experienced by the Jewish community, most recently the flack over anti-Semitism among leaders of the Women’s March, we are more convinced than ever that the Jewish community must strengthen its community relations capacity.

A Culture of Risk Taking – Walking the Walk

February 5, 2019 By eJP 2 Comments

By Jaime Walman It was a very hot day in June 2018. I was sitting around my kitchen table with my Strategy Team during one of our “porch days” (a thing I came up with to get us out of the office one day a week during the summer months). Sometimes, they involve sangria. Three years ago, Hillel Ontario created and built a very successful peer-to-peer fundraising campaign called On One Foot. The feedback we had received from our student … [Read more...] about A Culture of Risk Taking – Walking the Walk

Jewish ‘Dreamers’ Are, Thankfully, Dreaming No Longer

February 5, 2019 By eJP Leave a Comment

By Rabbi Dr. Wallace Greene “Dreamers” have lately become part of our lexicon, referring to immigrants whose parents sneaked them into this country as children. Our community also used to have dreamers. They dreamed of a day when Jewish children with learning, cognitive, or developmental problems would no longer have to be educated in public schools. They dreamed of a day when these children would be part of a dynamic Jewish environment whose … [Read more...] about Jewish ‘Dreamers’ Are, Thankfully, Dreaming No Longer
