Addressing Attrition In The Orthodox Jewish Community

in the 2020 piece study of jewish americans there was a statistic which was put out there which is incredibly troubling and which we have to work hard to be able to understand because it's not fully described and that is that 67 of jews who were raised orthodox are currently orthodox that means a dropout rate of one third and that's horrible and unacceptable how could it possibly be now we don't know exactly what it means we don't know what that world of orthodoxy was that's described there whatever it means it's not it's not good we have to study it we have to understand it the jewish people the orthodox jewish community has something which is very very rich very vibrant growing and writ large incredibly explosive but as we know on personal levels familial levels in within communities there are those who aren't sticking who aren't staying with us and we have to attack that we have to make sure yes we want to spread what we what we believe in what we practice to others we want to engage in heroes and and teaching but first we must not bleed first we must ensure that everyone in our community is given a real reason and a real chance to stay to stay within to have an infused and involved and inspired involvement in jewish life and that's something which we have to address the issue of attrition [Music]
