Everyone knows that this time of year - Elul, prepping for the New Year, school's just around the corner, etc. - the Jewish community and its institutions are looking for some sort of magic wand to wave to inspire people to "return" to the synagogue, elevate their involvement throughout the year, and so on....I'm not sure there is such a thing - though we continue hoping and looking for such a turn of events...
It seems that the healthier effort is to continue cultivating a "culture of engagement" by providing opportunities and entree points for meaningful experience - to raise the tide as it were, for as we have been taught -
For Elul 2:
Act - Jewish is as Jewish does, only.
