The notion of going to where the teens are ? in the public schools, at the movies ? is a very important strategy. If we sit back and wait for them to come to the classic institutions of religion, that simply isn't working.
Teens today, whether they're Jewish or not, they have common thoughts and perspectives. While many people think teens are turning away from religion, in fact, they're not.
Teens are looking for meaning. They have access to more information than ever before, and they're trying to make sense of it. That search leads to a curiosity about religion.
