"The future of Jewish life is dependent upon Jews - not just rabbis - taking hold of the rich, challenging, surprising, and inspiring heritage that makes up our texts and traditions. It is not about the new "big idea" or innovation for its own sake, but a recognition that the big ideas in Judaism were laid out clearly by our ancestors thousands of years ago. It is about reclaiming those ideas, bringing them to life in this century, and taking them so seriously that they might change your life ... we have the potential to empower Jews to own - really own - what has been ours for years. We have no time to waste."
