Prepare to revive your Jewish community with the transformative power of the divine spirit.Growing numbers of Jews have become disengaged with the religion of their birth. They feel that Judaism fails to speak to them in meaningful ways, and that Jewish institutions and communities have become both stagnant and reactive.Rabbi Baruch HaLevi, one of the most inspirational and motivational Jewish leaders in America today, and Ellen Frankel, author and speaker, offer a proactive response for reengaging Jews, reclaiming Judaism and reviving Jewish community. They draw from the great success of HaLevi's Congregation Shirat Hayam in Greater Boston to show what is possible when divine spirit is central to the Jewish experience. They identify the difference between a living synagogue and a dying synagogue and offer methods for reviving Jewish spiritual centers, federations, Jewish community centers, Jewish institutions and synagogues that serve as the heart of the Jewish tradition. They offer practical strategies for sustaining and expanding transformation, including tips for providing impassioned leadership, inspired programming and inviting sacred spaces.
