Here’s an interesting idea. 31 of them actually.<\/p>\n
Daniel Sieradski<\/a>, who might best be thought as a Jewish communal techo-provacteur (is that OK Daniel?), has a fascinating project going on this month. Over at 31 Days, 31 Ideas<\/a> he is posting a new idea for the Jewish community every day for the month of January. In his explanation<\/a> of the project, he notes that<\/p>\n What I hope to achieve in doing so is to attract collaborators, executors, funders and general community support for these ideas so that wherever interest lies, we, collectively, can move forward in seeing these ideas manifest. I also hope to spark an open discussion about innovation, addressing the emerging needs of 21st century Jewry, and the role of establishment Jewish organizations in providing for the needs of the Jewish public<\/p>\n As you might expect, and I think as Daniel intended, I think some of the ideas are great and some less so. But every one of them is worth thinking about.<\/p>\n The best part? This project is, in some ways, just an appetizer for another, larger, initiative. During February, Daniel will be joined by Jewschool<\/a>Jewcy<\/a>JTA<\/a>, The Forward<\/a>, eJewish Philanthropy<\/a> and the Jewish Federations of North America<\/a> in presenting 28 more<\/i> ideas to transform the Jewish future. Each week, the seven participants will take turns posting a new idea from a member of their community. Want to follow along? The site is up at http:\/\/28days28ideas.com<\/a> with a welcome message written by Jacob Berkman (aka JTA’s Fundermentalist<\/a>). There is, of course, a 28 Days Twitter feed<\/a> and a 28 Days Facebook fan page<\/a><\/p>\n What’s your favorite idea here? Personally, I’m thinking hard about #22 and #28, and looking forward to next month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s an interesting idea. 31 of them actually.
