If you're not in the rarefied world of academia you have probably never heard of a Festschrift. Developed in Germany in the early 20th century, it was brought over to the United States by scholarly refugees and became a custom here without losing its original name.

It is a volume like this one, a collection of essays honoring a scholar upon reaching a milestone such as - in the case of Rabbi Charles Simon - his retirement after 35 years as executive director of the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs.

One Step Ahead examines how the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs has had a profound impact on the Conservative/ Masorti movement. Essays describe initiatives created during Rabbi Simon's tenure as executive director including Jewish education, home commemoration, religious observance, responding to changing demographics, and the evolving role of Jewish Men in Jewish life.
