The excellent Spring 2007 issue of Zeek finally is online, with links to “DIY Judaism: A Roundtable,” moderated by Shifra Bronznick, Riv-Ellen Prell’s “Independent Minyanim and Prayer Groups of the 1970s: Historical and Sociological Perspectives,”, Ilana Kurshan’s “Stacking the Plastic Chairs: Running an Egalitarian Minyan in Jerusalem,”, and Ethan Tucker’s “What Independent Minyanim Teach Us About the Next Generation of Jewish Communities.”

Steven, Elie, Michelle, and I cite many of the articles in our report on emergent communities — though again, it’s important to recognize that the Zeek articles and symposia focus exclusively on independent minyanim like Darkhei Noam, Hadar, Kol Zimrah, Mission Minyan, etc., not rabbi-led emergent communities such as Kavana, IKAR, Kol Tzedek, etc., nor alternatives like Kavod House, Riverway, etc.
