Self Renewing Congregation

How can my congregation become more vital?
How can we both honor the past and embrace the future?
“[The Self-Renewing Congregation] calls for ‘renewal’…from within, not without-a renewal that begins with institutional self-reflection, proceeds through a process of self-engagement, and ends with self-generated innovations that can deepen the synagogue congregation as a sacred community. The core of this book offers any congregation seeking this path a compelling and realistic roadmap, a vision, and a process that is rooted in applied research and practical experience.”
-from the Foreword by Dr. Ron Wolfson, codeveloper, Synagogue 2000;
author of Shabbat: The Family Guide to Preparing for and Celebrating the Sabbath
