My Christian friends have youth groups where they get together and hang out, go for hikes, and talk about their faith while doing so. I don't understand why we don't have more groups for youth and seniors and every group in between at Synagogues. Perhaps they do exist and I am just ignorant to them, but if that is the case I would say that is a problem in itself! </p>JamesSchofieldTue, 04 Dec 2012 18:32:44 -0000http://reformjudaismmag.org/Articles/index.cfm?id=3133#comment-686240564<p>I would ask the same question about older people. Synagogues are very focused on gaining families with children--smart, they are the future--but sometimes they forget the middle-aged, childless and senior adults. They may feel we will come anyway.</p>LucidGalThu, 18 Oct 2012 11:32:13 -0000
