Creating Sacred Communities - Leading Practitioners Share Lessons Learned

Creating a sacred community is one of the most important tasks facing congregational leaders – rabbis, cantors, educators, executive directors, and lay leaders – in the twenty-first century. This unique book presents a master class by frontline practitioners who share cutting-edge lessons learned from their success in shaping sacred communities. Renowned educator and congregational innovator Dr. Ron Wolfson, with his student and colleague Rabbi Brett Kopin, invites the reader into his senior seminar teaching rabbinical school students the art of leading a relational sacred community in settings ranging from synagogues to independent minyanim to Hillels. Each chapter features actual transcripts of the conversations between the outstanding Master Class Contributors and the students.
