The Concept
The Judaism On Purpose™ process was developed for you, the “guide by the side’, to reignite individualized, personalized meaning—based on Torah / Talmud teachings—in your and others’ lives. For example, with others even use Zoom meetings or conduct in-person gatherings, family get togethers or ‘Jew It Yourself’ – your choice. For example, even groups of (up to) seven members each could meet once a week for one hour per group for a total of 40 – 50 hours per year. It is also suggested each member also meets with you individually for 12 monthly one-hour sessions plus an initial consultation for a total of 13 sessions during the year.
Monthly group discussions are shaped according to the group’s needs and interests. The first module of the process framework is suggested to be required. The remaining 8 are optional but encouraged as part of the meaning pathway. Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare and facilitate these 9 INside-out modules which include:
- Jews of Meaning© / Meaning and Accountability
- Remember Me: Create “A Soul Resume” for their children and grandchildren, which may also become an ethical will.
- Why Am I a Jew?: Other than as the result of birth and asking this question in Hebrew school, how often is this posed?
- One’s Ethical Will
- Jewish Personal Financial Planning©: Aligning means with meaning.
- One’s First to Be Second Bar/Bat Mitzvah –THIS TIME WITH MEANING
- The MUZZle Tov Service©: A celebration, blessing, as well as seeing per a contest of essays ‘why my dog is Jewish’ how Jewish values are being transferred and internalized to children/grandchildren of Judaism On Purpose™ members.
- Torah Goes to the Movies: Each member watches a movie, writes up his or her thoughts regarding the movie’s relation to Torah, and gets together in a group once a month to share.
- JEWbulie (a.k.a Jubilee): Once a year, there is a potluck get together with all the Jews of Meaning© groups in a given geographical location.

TESTIMONIALS
“You are gifted with a wit sorely lacking amidst our tribe these days, vanished and crushed by the myriad horror Zion congregational Bar and Bat Mitzvah factories.”
