Am I talking out of both sides of my mouth?
I'm quoted today in The Jewish Week saying
“It’s very easy to look at [the study’s findings] as criticism” of such mainstream Jewish organizations as established synagogues and the network of Jewish federations, says J. Shawn Landres, Synagogue 3000’s director of research. “It’s not offered as criticism.”And my op-ed in today's Forward concludes,
The growth of the new prayer groups reflected in the study shows that they are “revitalizing Jewish life,” Landres says.
All of these strands are the very antithesis of disengagement from the Jewish community. They are part of a profound critique of communal religious life whose impact remains to be seen and is impossible to predict from its starting conditions — the very definition of emergent.I don't think I'm contradicting myself, but I do think it's pretty funny.
The study to which both articles refer is here.
