During the past 15 months, JPR has been engaged in a conversation involving a small number of the most insightful practitioners and thinkers in the British Jewish community today. The participants in this conversation were drawn from as many sections of the Jewish community as possible and were chosen because of their direct involvement in creating a particularly interesting version of Jewish community, their capacity to think reflectively and their willingness to engage constructively and respectfully in dialogue with others.
 
What has emerged from this initiative, which has been sponsored by the American Joint Distribution Committee and the Clore Duffield Foundation, is a series of thoughts or ideas that can be used to facilitate discussion and debate about our collective future. The views expressed raise some central and often quite challenging questions and ideas which we wish to bring to a wider audience in the interests of promoting a dialogue about how to sustain, renew and invigorate the Jewish community.
