NOTE: This is a reposting of an article I sent out on Sunday, February
19th. Apparently, it did not get to most sites because the new
newsgroup wasn't up yet, so I am submitting it again. I apologize
to anyone who may end up getting this twice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to ask a favor of all Reform Jews on this net. I would be
very interested in receiving any information, recommendations, etc.
about Reform synagogues around the country. At this point in my life, I
am a Jew without a congregation; I left my old synagogue in my home town
and do not wish to return to it again, and I have not yet found another
congregation that I really want to join. I know that I will be living
in many different places over the next several years of my life, and I
also worry about that hazy future when I settle down and have to find
a more or less permanent Jewish community to join.
My questions, then:
1) What is the name and location (city, state) of the synagogue that you
attend? (Include any others that you have previously attended,
as well, and repeat your answers to the questions below.)
2) How do you feel about services in your congregation? What do you like
about them, what would you change, etc.
3) How well do you know your Rabbi? In general, how accessible and
receptive is your Rabbi to members of the congregation?
4) How do you like the Religious School in your synagogue (if you have
children)? ( If you can dimly remember the Religious School that you
attended as a child, you may comment on that, too)
5) Any other general comments, recommendations, etc.
Please, if you can, take the time to answer this survey, and mail back
replies to me at yale-com!scott. Don't feel forced to answer all the
questions if they seem too personal, too general, or would take too long
to answer -- any form of reply is welcome! If there is interest, I
could post some of the information I receive on the net.
Thanks in advance.
