Abstract:

In an effort to understand how younger Jews are organizing themselves in methods alternative to traditional Jewish institutions, the authors examine four such new initiatives in detail: Ikar, a new spiritual community; Storahtelling, a Jewish musical-dramatic performance troupe; JDub Records, a Jewish record company; and Salon, a discussion group.
