Abstract:
The majority of Jews do not really care about being Jewish, and unless we take action now, thousands of Jewish children will be lost to Judaism. Two steps are suggested— provision of free Jewish day school education to every child and sending every teenager on a free, well organized program to Israel at least once. We have the money to take these steps, but do we have the needed vision and the courage?
