Next Dor

An Invitation To The Next Synagogue Frontier

in

Synagogues at the forefront of Jewish life have rightly become concerned about the changeover from the baby-boomers to their children. At stake is Jewish continuity, particularly in the liberal sector, that 90% or so of Jews are not necessarily committed to significant Jewish identity. Coordinating a sustained and successful engagement strategy to the next generation is the next frontier in synagogue life.

S3K's Next Dor Initiative is a bold venture to engage the future of Judaism.

"doing jewish stuff" - an experiment called NITA

Nita (Hebrew for, "We will plant, we will grow") is an experiment in "doing Jewish" differently. As one of Synagogue 3000's Next Dor pilots, Nita has spent the last year plus creating a new model of community led by Rabbi Noa Kusher who describes her rabbinate as "... one part sales, one part emunah (faith), and one part chutzpah - a stubborn refusal to give up on my generation of Jews."

Ironically, Abraham and Isaac almost colluded in the Jewish People's demise! God had to stay the hand of Abraham the executioner. In reverse mirror imagery, it is the inability of today's Abrahams and Isaacs to collude in anything at all that threatens the Jewish future
