Newcastle on inclusion for children with disabilitiesCormac Russell
How do you build a bridge between children and young people who are labelled by their disabilities into the centre of community life? How do you build hospitable communities where such bridge building is common place? These are the questions we address in this presentation through the lens of Asset Based Community Development.
So, do you typically guess what would work well to connect with your neighbors? Maybe you stereotype the community and assume what they need? Well, if you want to connect in a real way to your neighborhood or city, you better start listening to your neighbors and build on their strengths to raise up local leaders for the long run.

Jewish Geography Goes Digital (Moving the Needle - RAVSAK/PARDES #mtn2014)Esther Kustanowitz
While connecting is easier today than it ever has been before, there’s more to connection than mastering tools. Effective connectors have networks that are both wide and deep; not only connected to a goal or purpose but interconnected among their members who are not just program participants, but active gears in the machinery of your school, program, organization or initiative. Each person represents access to an expanded network, and an expanded future audience to receive, absorb and redistribute your messages. In a future where reach seems infinite, how does your use of social media tools and communication strategies amplify your ability to share things that are important with the eagerly listening members of your current and future network? Learn how to engage people from a point of meaning and value, deepen relationships and effectively mobilize your networks to share information as well as invite feedback.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

16. Barriers to Entry / How to Dismantle Them
Fear of institutions TBA members and leadership becomes more
active in community, outside the walls
Distaste for synagogues
Identifying what both parties bring to the
Needs being met in other places table, make prospective members feel listened
to
Online
Other IRL activities Listening to needs, understanding other
options and identifying points of partnership
Social hesitations and collaboration
Too large
Bring a friend, shul hop, partner with other
Not enough people in specific demographic organizations
Spiritual uncertainty ?
Geographical location ?
17. Things to Think About…
What’s your “engagement story”?
How can you better foster members’ creativity, empowerment and investment in programming
and synagogue offerings, and engage membership as organizational advocates?
Identify your assets (institutional strengths, and members’ skills and interests), and leverage
them toward creating deeper emotional touchpoints
How can you learn from and collaborate with other synagogues and communities?
What conversations can you convene that affect the wider community, and how can you engage
other community members and institutions in this conversation?

19. Questions for Discussion
You’ve been working on a mission statement. But what would your elevator pitch be (describe what makes
Beth Am special in under one minute)? If you hired an ad agency to create a campaign for you, what would
your messaging/slogan be?
If you were training TBA members as ambassadors, what would you teach them about the institution, its
members and offerings that they don’t already know? What personal skills, background or institutional
information would you insist that they have?
Who are the people in your neighborhood? (Map your current assets: who can promote and advance TBA’s
brand and offerings). Who are your current stars? Which stars outside are you looking to recruit? Identify
appropriate asks, some of them not financial.
Which TBA events are the best-attended? How do you follow up with attendees after events? Can you
identify additional calendar points that might be “hot spots” for engagement?
How do you structure partnerships? Can you think of recent partnerships that have been successful? What
made them successful? What about challenged partnerships? How would you have fixed them?
