We need to stay open in a childlike way to the new visions. That's the only way the Jewish community will persevere. People will not come back to the synagogue based on feelings of guilt, nostalgia or fear. The focus should be on creative flourishing of meaningful new traditions that will connect the past but speak to us in our own time. Spirituality will save Judaism.
People are hungry for it.
Lev also noted that a commitment on some level is crucial. You only have to take the bite. We need to let people know they can commit to being Jewish in their own way. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
