Abstract:

To develop a community plan that strategically addresses outreach, it is imperative that synagogues and federation build a cooperative partnership. Such an alliance would develop a communal strategy that would identify every possible doorway into the Jewish community for the unaffiliated, create new programs to meet the needs of the unaffiliated, and coordinate all those programs into an organic network.
