That such a situation-a part

Of the dignity and importance of
Judaism as a continuous way of
Life, but by eliminating those
months of the year which are the
most informal and relaxed ones,
Jewish life is deprived of a per-
iod in which much can be done to
refreshen and reinvigorate it.
Spring and summer are parts Of
the year which can prove ideal
for thinking through and expert
menting with new modes of Jew
ish religious and cultural express
sion Such experiences could have
a lasting influence during the
other months of the year.
There have been a number of
proposals on how the spring and
summer months shoull be utilized
for the purpose of developing a
vibrant Judaism. One Of the more
promising suggestions is that the
