Shalom all, This note landed on my virtual desk through the Jewish Studies Network (H-Judaic). It seems pertinent to SSC members who may want to present at the 2013 annual conference of AJS (please note: "The panel ideally may also include non-academic stakeholders in this field..."). Go for it!

The panel will include current thinking and work on how data collection has been used to serve congregational process and goals. The focus is on applied research by, for, and about Jewish congregations; depending on the papers offered, it could take a more theoretical direction. The panel would benefit from including everything from "big data" to small-scale approaches and projects. Papers will also likely frame any applied work within larger issues that face congregations now. Larger issues relate, for example, to collaboration among congregations towards effective and affordable programming (that is my topic), helping congregations become more internally vibrant, or other issues of congregational change and viability. The panel ideally may also include non-academic stakeholders in this field, such as those who fund synagogue innovation and vitality projects. If you would like to present on a panel with this topic or have related suggestions, please contact me at she...@gratz.edu. Shirah W. Hecht.
