A Framework for Working With Orthodox Communities – Engaging Your Orthodox Community (Communities) – Outreach & Engagement Challenges

The inaugural meeting of the Working with Orthodox Communities Affinity Group consisted of 25 participants who shared a range of concerns and areas of interest related to the topic and expressed an interest in meeting every other month. Based on the poll we completed during the meeting, we would like to focus on outreach and engagement challenges during this meeting.

In preparation for this meeting, we are asking you to bring a specific challenge or success you have experienced in engaging with Orthodox community members.

We are hoping to identify strategies/best practices for engagement/outreach that can inform our discussions going forward!

Presenters: Dini Peterson, Chief Program Officer, Family and Community Services, Jewish Family Service of Metropolitan Detroit, dpeterson@jfsdetroit.org

Rabbi David M. Rosenberg, Orthodox Community Liaison and Coordinator of Jewish Educational Services, JCFS Chicago, DavidRosenberg@jcfs.org
