Abstract
Amidst the ubiquitous signs that the commitment to Jewish community and peoplehood is eroding, especially amongst Jewish youth, Woocher argues that the key point is not understanding how we got here but crafting a way to respond. He offers practical suggestions for the Jewish community: to invest in building Jewish social, communal and "peoplehood capital," a concept that recognizes that underlying the formal structures and institutions of society lies a substructure of relationships and dispositions that are necessary to sustain these institutions. He also discusses three implications of responding in such a way.
