  • ESSAYS - notes on "Voices of the past, Visions of the future"
presented by: Judy Seid

Charming, great potential, interesting, great price - means too small and badly taken care of, in a marginal neighborhood. And all the rooms are painted different colors and have different carpets.

Charming: - too small
Great potential: badly taken care of, will cost a lot to fix up
Interesting: And all the rooms are painted different colors and have different carpets.
Great price - bad neighborhood

That's us. We lack money, time, consistency and legitimacy.

Going for us: First three from Bob Sims
Compelling - makes sense, attractive,
Sustaining - gives answers, support, work, we have STUFF
Authentic - both to Jewish culture and ourselves
Inclusive - we don't tell you whether or not you are a Jew

Also, we are small thinkers, but this is both good and bad.
Care about individual
But don't have vision and will to chase it because it might hurt individuals

Challenge for today is to use our strengths to attack our weaknesses. Build a house we can be proud of. Interesting stuff, but coherent, big enough and a place where people want to come.
