Críticas:

"An extraordinary book. A clarion call for spiritual leadership in a post-ethnic age." (Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman, Hebrew Union College, New York; co-founder, Synagogue 2000: Institute for the Synagogue of the Twenty-First Century) "Schwarz, an outstanding community builder and creative figure in American Jewry, has written a thoughtful, insightful treatment of the synagogue, its limits and its real potential to sustain a new generation of Jews. If you care about the future of Jewry, you want to read this book." (Rabbi Irving Greenberg, president, Jewish Life Network; author, The Jewish Way) "With stories both of individuals and synagogues, Sidney Schwarz shows that old religious structures can indeed become alive with new spiritual meaning, sensitive to generational change. His is an encouraging, beautifully-written account of congregations in positive transition-at once inspiring and instructive." (Wade Clark Roof, author, A Generation of Seekers: The Spiritual Journeys of the Baby Boom Generation and Spiritual Marketplace) "Finding a Spiritual Home is one of the most thoughtful and provocative books I have ever encountered. This is the right book at the right time." (Jonathan Woocher, executive vice president, Jewish Education Service of North America; author, Sacred Survival: The Civil Religion of American Jews) ." . . A must-read. Schwarz's account of several new-paradigm synagogues working on the cutting edge of Jewish spirituality is richly detailed and the personal stories of seekers and their paths into Judaism are compelling." (Ron Wolfson, University of Judaism; co-founder, Synagogue 2000: Institute for the Synagogue of the Twenty-First Century)

Reseña del editor:

In this illuminating look at Judaism's future, Rabbi Sidney Schwarz offers a penetrating analysis of the American Jewish community, challenging American synagogues to respond to a generation of seekers and satisfy the spiritual hunger of the "new American Jew." This groundbreaking book not only reveals the possibilities of this new, vital spiritual culture, but also offers strategies for transforming any congregation into a place that the Jews of today can truly call home.
