A New Pathway to Synagogue Growth – Villages

This article in eJewishPhilanthropy explores the villages model as a way to keep Boomers and others connected to their synagogue communities. As Rabbi Beth Lieberman writes, “...synagogue-based villages...harmonize congregational life with our new longevity. We are already seeing it begin to reshape our lives and the lives of the next generations. By placing faith in these villages, we all – Boomers and synagogue leaders – anchor the present in a plan for future growth, one that helps synagogue communities to be truly inclusive of all generations.
