Abstract:

Today's challenge is to identify how Jewish institutions can become visionary, generative, and transformational. Three ways to do so are to deepen Jewish values as the core of institutional identity, implement a commitment to Jewish learning, and develop the capacity to be a learning organization. Then, Jewish institutions can become compelling communities of Jewish learning and living in which learning is both the means and the end of institutional renewal.
