Dear Community,

At our recent meeting, the LJCC Board agreed to undertake a strategic visioning process to help us look forward and plan a thriving future for our congregation.  

There will be a number of opportunities for everyone to participate in this process and to provide substantial input. We are starting with a survey and then will conduct some small group community conversations. For folks who want to be more involved in the process we welcome your help - please contact me at Robin.Rosenberg@mac.com so we can figure out the best way to get you involved.

The congregant survey was specifically developed to assist synagogues in their visioning process. It has been tested with many congregations. It allows us to identify both our institutional strengths and weaknesses, hence is a very important first step in the strategic visioning  process. Filling out this survey should take approximately 10 minutes.We hope that all members of the congregation will take the time to fill out the survey and make their voices heard.

You can also help us get valuable input from others in our community.  Please share the survey link with your friends and acquaintances, Jewish and non-Jewish. This will help us see how we are perceived by your friends, neighbors, colleagues and other folks in the community.

The Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation enters this Jewish New Year with inspiring programs, a revitalized religious school, meaningful services and a dedicated staff to facilitate all our activities. We’ve established an endowment to serve as a stable base for our future growth. We are at an exciting time in our institutional development. That’s why we need input from all congregants and as many community members as possible to help shape our growth to serve the Jewish community of Lawrence.

We thank you in advance for your willingness to help out with this important process.  Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this visioning process.

Robin L. Rosenberg,

President on behalf of the Board of Directors.
