Sid Schwarz - Jewish Megatrends: Charting the Course of the American Jewish Future

Rabbi Dr. Sid Schwarz, Senior Fellow at Hazon (https://hazon.org/) o presents his Valley Beit Midrash (www.valleybeitmidrash.org) lecture "Jewish Megatrends: Charting the Course of the American Jewish Future" before an audience at Temple Chai (www.templechai.com/) in Phoenix, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: The American Jewish community is riddled with doubts about the viability of the institutions that well served the Jewish community of the 20th century. Synagogues, federations, and Jewish membership organizations have yet to figure out how to meet the changing interests and needs of the next generation. This talk will look at the social norms that are shaping the habits and lifestyles of younger American Jews and suggest four guiding principles that can actually lead to a renaissance in Jewish life.
