Paperback. Like countless others of their generation, many contemporary American Jews have abandoned the religion of their birth to search for a spiritual home in other traditions. Some find their way back to the faith of their heritage, but why do so many find that the synagogue has not met their needs? 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. 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.
