A shout out to Next Dor New York and Rabbi Matthew Reimer of Temple B’nai Jeshurun, engaging young Jewish adults in Manhatten.

Next Dor pilot site The Kitchen and Rabbi Noa Kushner get a well-deserved shout out from the San Francisco J Weekly

S3K consultant Ramie Arian writes about near-total absence of any mention of the synagogue in Jewish innovation funding circles.

Rabbi Brent Spodek of Next Dor Affiliate the Emek Project describes his recent experience of getting "covered with mud and paint and sweat and was sort of miserable and also sort of thrilled to be part of this community. I had spent the week with incredible people who had come out and given serious chunks of the time to help build an office at Beacon Hebrew Alliance the synagogue where, as of July 1, I’m going to be rabbi."

Congratulations to S3K team members Larry Hoffman and Steven Cohen, and S3K colleagues Isa Aron and Ari Kelman for their book Sacred Strategies: Transforming Synagogues from Functional to Visionary, chosen 2010 Jewish Book Council winner for best book in the Education and Jewish Identity category.
