Empowered Judaism: What Independent Minyanim Can Teach Us about Building Vibrant Jewish Communities

Why have thousands of young Jews, otherwise
unengaged with formal Jewish life, started more than
sixty prayer communities across the United States?
What crucial lessons for all Jews can these grassroots
communities provide?

Rabbi Elie Kaunfer, one of the leaders of this phenomenon, offers refreshingly new analysis of ageold questions of how to build Jewish community by examining the independent minyan movement and its relevant lessons on prayer, community organizing,
volunteer leadership and how they impact wider issues
in American Judaism.

Covers Communities in:
* Atlanta
* Boston
* Chicago
* Denver
* Los Angeles
* New Haven, CT
* New York
