Book Summary
Rabbi Lawrence Hoffman, a well-known pioneer in synagogue transformation for the twenty-first century, provides a framework for the theoretical understanding of what synagogues are and what they yet can be. He provides a theological rational for the synagogue, defining what constitutes transformative, not just additive, change, and explores alternative systemic infrastructure that is likely to yield the kind of community best positioned to carry religious Judaism into the future.
