!["Educators struggle to “make Judaism relatable,” to “connect Torah to modern times.” Too often, our work is framed to us as a form of marketing. [In] this formulation, “Torah” or “Judaism” is something separate from any given person, which they can engage with at will as a commodity. But this approach is both foreign to Torah itself."
—Rabbi Avigayil Halpern, "A Place Their Heart Desires: An Integrated Torah for the Future", Again at a Crossroads: New Jewish Thought for a Better World](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n3jv5ufgzck5fb7y7rimmvoh/bafkreicoqnplh6dvgugx27yhy3ydqntz3qlzzubotj2ueitirij3stkoii)
!["[Mordecai] Kaplan’s Judaism refuses assimilation. It was grounded in peoplehood, in communal creativity, and in the lived, complex reality of being Jewish in the Diaspora."
"And critically, this meant placing community - not belief, not ritual, not law - at the centre of Jewish religious life."
