I agree with all your points. We do need to work both on weaving innovation and innovators more fully into the fabric of Jewish life (without undermining the distinctiveness and vibrancy that makes them such desirable additions) and on grounding the entire process of re-imagining and redesigning our community more firmly in a Jewish vision and Jewish vocabulary. I don't know if the innovators and their projects are zeraim (seeds) or perhaps already something more -- maybe nitzanim (flower buds). In all events, this is a moment of great opportunity for those who believe that Jewish life need not be driven by fear and anxiety, but can instead be built on a passionate desire to live out Jewish values in ever new ways and settings. This is what I see happening, and those organizations that embrace this passion will, I believe, thrive, whether they are new start-ups or established institutions.

I think you have summarized the change required that will ensure Jewish communities in the next generation and I love the name. It's a large part of our new community strategy, even if we ahven't articulated nearly so well. I wish I’d been in the room to hear the discussion.
