Although the awakening of Jewish consciousness among the Soviet Jewish immigrants resettling in our communities has been an explicit goal, operationalizing this has proved to be elusive. This article presents one community's approach toward operationalizing this goal. The process, program approach, and logistical resolutions are discussed.
