Emergent Community Models

My fellow Seattleite R' Dov Gartenberg, one of two Conservative-affiliated Seattle rabbis who has gone from conventional pulpit to independent community innovation in the past year, just attended S3K's "Working Group of Jewish Emerging Sacred Communities" conference in NYC. In response, he has written this piece on Emerging Sacred Communities, in which he contrasts his own Panim Hadashot against crosstown non-rival Kavana Cooperative to distinguish two different emergent community models.
