Membership in Jewish organisations is down. Day school enrolment has peaked. Federation campaigns are flat. The fastest growing and second largest category of Jews is "Just Jewish." Young Jewish adults are unengaged and ageing baby boomers are disengaging. Yet, in the era of Facebook, people crave face-to-face community.
"It's all about relationships." With this simple, but profound idea, noted educator and community revitalisation pioneer Dr. Ron Wolfson presents practical strategies and case studies to transform the old model of Jewish institutions into relational communities.
He sets out twelve principles of relational engagement to guide Jewish lay leaders, professionals and community members in transforming institutions into inspiring communities whose value-proposition is to engage people and connect them to Judaism and community in meaningful and lasting ways.
Relational Judaism offers insightful guidance and concrete examples for those seeking to create engaging and dynamic Jewish communities, ensuring a vibrant future for Jewish life.

The book offers a hopeful and humour-infused vision, avoiding blame and instead promoting a people-centred paradigm.
