How are communities built, constructed today? Since my 20s, I've been drawn to an array of experiments, projects, people, and programs aimed at creating community and nurturing engaged Jewish living, and I now find myself quite curious about the new "ecosystem" of niche-based innovation bubbling up around the country. Ten years ago, Sh'ma explored a renaissance in Jewish literary arts and culture; five years ago, we devoted one issue to projects fostering Jewish identity among secular Israelis and another to sustainable innovation in the Jewish community. Along similar lines this month we probe the role that community, yearning, and creativity play in a growing phenomenon of new Jewish initiatives, offering glimpses into the lives of Jewish innovators and "do-it-yourselfers." Readers will also find a round table and essays that explore questions about sustainability, funding, consumerism, surprising pathways for engagement, the relationship between new innovative groups and the existing communal infrastructure, and what it is that continues to inspire the creative re-imagining of Jewish life in America.
