Abstract:
In response to the recent emphasis on Jewish continuity through outreach and engagement, this statement suggests five values which ought to be fundamental to any program of Jewish continuity in North America: Torah; Am Yisrael (Jewish peoplehood); Klal Yisrael (the community of Israel); Brith (Covenant); and Kiruv (outreach).
