New Rules of Engagement

On October 26,  Mordecai Holtz wrote the following  blog posting on E Jewish Philanthropy:

 In an age when we the Jewish youth are being influenced by a bastion of sources of media and technology, the Jewish people cannot afford to show a disjointed front towards the future. Today's Jewish youth, according to Dr. Steven Cohen, view the current Jewish practices and, it would seem, modern Jewish leaders as their role models, as autonomous, boring, bland, coercive, and divisive (aka A, B, C, D according to Dr. Cohen). The teen's outlook on Jewish practices depicts a frighteningly dismal picture for the future of the Jewish people.
