They not only make the point they're actually doing what's necessary to attract Jews back to Judaism and the synagogue in real time and with measurable success. And it's far more than just about their worship services on which the scholars are unduly and narrowly focused. B'nai Jeshurun's model appears to be the living embodiment of Rabbi/Dr. Richard Rubenstein's statement on page 148 of his book "After Auschwitz." He writes, "Judaism will continue to make a distinctive contribution as long as it develops men and women who function as an element of creative discontent before the regnant idolatries of any given time or community." Rav todot and bravo to B'nai Jeshurun for bringing their heart thumping and God honoring mission to reality. Biv'racha, Jordan Goodman Shalom All,
