Abstract:

Action research is systematic inquiry designed to produce social change within the Jewish community. This applied form of social research has advanced considerably in methodology and scope over the past twenty-five years.In this essay, we pinpoint the state of the field and top research priorities in several research areas. We conclude with a discussion of the research process, considering the strengths and weaknesses of inside versus outside study personnel.
