Other titles in the Suny Series, American Jewish Society in the 1990s series:Conservative Movement in Judaism T: Dilemmas and Opportunities (Suny Series, American Jewish Society in the 1990s)by Daniel J. Elazar
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Viewing the Conservative Movement at a turning point, this book analyzes the problems facing the largest religious movement in the American Jewish community and outlines a plan of action for the future. Elazar and Geffen suggest: clarifying ideology, mission, and purpose, finding the right balance between traditionalists and advocates of change, unifying movement institutions in a cooperative effort, staunching the decline of membership to the left, recapturing the loyalty of lapsed adherents, closing the gap in observance between the laity and the standard bearers of the movement, developing the Movement in Israel and world-wide, and strengthening ties with Jewish federations and other Jewish communal bodies. The authors propose that the Conservative Movement's remedying of these problems will benefit not just American, but all world Jewry.
Description:Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-223) and index.
