If you are in San Fran on Thursday, November 8th at 7:30 PM, there is a thought provoking program hosted by Progressive Jewish Alliance. Young, Jewish, and (Dis)Connected is about how, why and, more specifically, why don't younger Jews feel connected to Israel and to Jewish life in America.
You know my answer for younger Jews' disenchantment with American Jewish Life: schlocky Judaica and boring dreidel games!
We are fixing the schlocky/boring problem at ModernTribe.com. But I bet Professor Ari Kelman, Joey Kurzman from Jewcy.com, Sarah Church from PJA, Heidi Winig from American Jewish World Services, and Jeremy Lizt of New Israel Fund have some other ideas on the subject.
It's free but RSVP: bayarea@pjalliance.org or 510-527-8640

Im sure the ordinary judaica will not be enough to bridge the gaps of generations.
However any effort to bring young people to the community or create a stronger bond between the young generation and israel/jewish community is positive.
