Leadership: Cultivating New Leaders for Your Congregation
Start: 12:00 pm

It is not uncommon to find that a congregation lacks new leaders under development to succeed current leaders when their terms of service end. Cultivation and training of new leaders requires advance planning, training and experience. This session will address how to create a well-functioning congregational leadership development committee that will support current leaders and cultivate leaders for the future. It will also generally address the kinds of training that can support a congregational governance system and its leaders to function most successfully.

Tikkun Olam: CBCO-Congregation Based Community Organizing
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 1:15 pm

Since 2006, JRF has partnered with the Jewish Funds for Justice, the Interfaith Organizing Initiative and other social justice networks in the field of congregation-based community organizing to help promote and develop spiritually activist communities. Many of our clergy and lay leaders have led the way in their communities to start and grow "CBCO" networks, transforming their own congregations in the process. This call is for anyone who is interested or has embarked on this powerful method of social justice organizing in faith community.

Please review JRF CBCO and CBCO Omer Project resources.

Dynamics of Growth: The Soul of Your Community
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 1:15 pm

While we understandably focus on the technical aspects of running and growing our communities (especially in difficult times), there are core spiritual, cultural, ethical and identity issues that bring us together as religious communities. This call will explore some of the key elements that are crucial to keeping our selves grounded in core religious values, spiritual values, and social justice principles as we grow our faith communities. Topics will include ritual life, prayer, Jewish values-based decision making as spiritual practice, spiritual direction, tikkun olam and more.

Please prepare for the class by reading Exploring Reconstructionism: A Leadership Workshop and listen to GOD - Through A Reconstructionist Lens; Social Action (Tikkun Olam)
