Who's Who in Outreach

In Natalie Merkur Rose and Amy Wasser Simpson's report from the field, they begin by noting the number of people that have expressed their thanks for caring enough to ask about the fate of unaffiliated and interfaith families. Their efforts on behalf of a Community Outreach Task Force resulted in numerous focus groups, interviews, and surveys to garner information on the task of outreach. Other members of our second "Who's Who" have concentrated their efforts on education, family-oriented programs (like "shabbat backpacks" and parent-teacher programming) and sensitivity training. These approaches are yet further examples of the work of outreach that is being done from coast to coast.
