“The training and incentive program has inspired organizations like ours to think about and plan for our future survival, and has given us the reason and opportunity to meet with members of all ages to learn about their stories and share their feelings for our shul and Judaism’s future. We have learned that there is a bright future for all of us and that by sharing ideas with other organizations we all learn from each other and everyone benefits.”
