"Visioning Justice and the American Jewish Community"

The Nathan Cummings Foundation has published an important report by Shifra Bronznick and Didi Goldenhar on the pursuit of social justice as a key pillar of the American Jewish community. From the introduction by Lance Lindblom and Rabbi Jennie Rosenn:

"Visioning Justice grew out of our belief that we are at a pivotal moment. We have seen tremendous growth in the field of Jewish social justice. The new developments and collaborations that have emerged during this inquiry highlight the ripeness of the field for greater synergy. We now see the opportunity for bringing organizations and individuals together – to create a powerful vision and develop coordinated strategies that will bring the field to the next level of visibility, influence, and impact.
"We also seek through this inquiry and report to engage and influence the Jewish community – that we may make more fully manifest our shared values, building movements for justice in this country and around the world."

I'm proud that two of the projects I led while I was at Synagogue 3000 have earned mention, specifically research and reflection on emergent spiritual communities (pdf) and synagogues & social justice (pdf).
