"All of this leaves me in a bit of a quandary. I am keenly aware that I am who I am today by virtue of my upbringing during the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s in a small, southern Jewish community, where I was shaped by all of the major Jewish institutional forces of the 20th century ... But the Jewish world has changed rapidly and dramatically over the past decades. And today, I am nurtured Jewishly by a loosely connected national network of Jewish 'start-up' communities, funders, and umbrella organizations — groups brought together by a common vocabulary centering around 'innovation,' 'social entrepreneurship,' 'meaning,' and 'empowerment.'"
-Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum, from a recent Sh'ma article: GenXers and Boomers: Humility and Tzimtzum
