What needs to be done? 5.What kinds of programs or activities would you recommend in order to offer people a sense of Jewish meaning and belonging? What would you focus on? Why?

10.How do you characterize movement toward a new Israel-Diaspora partnership on the conceptual and planning level? How do you envision the implementation of this new partnership? What sorts of mechanisms do you think are necessary in moving this project forward?
