This book examines the need for a revitalized orthodox Judaism in light of challenges facing the religion, and argues that the success and survival of Judaism hinges on the quality of the clergy serving it. The author believes the religious zeal of congregations is directly related to the competence of their ministers, and that without investing in the development of a well-trained clergy, Judaism will struggle to survive. The book draws attention to the insufficient support provided by the United Synagogue to Jews' College - the institution responsible for training the bulk of its ministers - and calls for increased funding from both the organization and the wider Jewish community. The author concludes by arguing that the future of Judaism depends on the community's willingness to equip its leaders with the highest caliber of training and support, and that this requires addressing the college's financial crisis by increasing its funding and establishing a steady income.
