Jewish identity in America can no longer rely on culture or ethnicity to sustain it. Synagogue affiliation rates are on a steady decline and American Jews, particularly younger Jews, have lost the historic value of affiliation. Something else is needed to Beginning with the establishment of Synagogue 2000 in 1994, S2K/S3K created graduate-level curricula for congregational teams interested in synagogue transformation, “S3K Reports" – action research accounts of promising trends in synagogue life, and a variety of other materials. All these are collected at www.synagoguestudies.org, available free of charge, for professionals and lay leaders alike. These resources are now under the conservatorship of the Synagogue Studies Institute, Inc. The institute seeks to continue making the resources collected by S2K/S3K available in perpetuity as well as curate and convene conversations about Synagogue research. The SSI is the synagogue participant in the Faith Communities Today (FACT) http://faithcommunitiestoday.org, a series of ongoing research surveys and practical reports about congregational life, conducted and published by the Cooperative Congregations Studies Partnership, a multi-faith group of religious researchers and faith leaders. Thank you for your interest in our resources and best wishes for your work in building sacred communities.
