Abstract:

The highest priority of our federations must be providing the resources to enable every American Jew to experience a creative, intense confrontation with the best of what Jewish life represents. It can be implemented through a national action plan that provides a new relationship with synagogues and funding for programs within the synagogue setting that target moderately affiliated families. However, the window of opportunity is closing rapidly and we must act now to strengthen our gateway institutions.
