What are the Ten Principles of Big Tent Judaism?
To facilitate the goals of Big Tent Judaism, the Jewish Outreach Institute has articulated ten principles that will serve as a framework for a coalition of Jewish communal institutions that desire to be open and welcoming to all who approach. The principles will help Jewish institutions reach and serve all Jewish households — including the majority at any given time that are not participating in Jewish communal life. The ten principles include: Welcome All Newcomers; Celebrate Diversity; Offer “Free Samples”; Deepen Jewish Engagement; Provide Quality “Customer Service”; Lower Barriers to Participation; Increase Points of Access; Create Partnerships; Enlist Active Members for Outreach; and Better Best Practices.
