Today, increasing numbers of synagogues are engaging in interfaith campaigns on vital issues of local concern, from public education to building affordable housing. Three components are essential to the process: one, congregants engage in one-to-one conversations within their synagogue, and often with other congregations, about their social justice passions; two, leaders engage in extensive clergy and lay leadership training and development; and three, synagogue leaders work side-by-side with dozens of faith institutions and progressive organizations in their community, across lines of race, class, and faith. Our Core Team may be calling you soon for a conversation.
