Building on this core value and setting aside the financial/spiritual split with which many congregational leaders operate, Rabbi Shawn Zevit brings the depth and breadth of Jewish teachings on money and the spiritual life to all faith communities. This book provides texts and tools to help clergy, staff, and lay leaders of congregations of any faith approach financial and other resources as core means to build and maintain whole and holy lives in a communal setting. Zevit demonstrates how faith communities can create values-based approaches to developing and managing financial and human resources that are rooted in the very sacred traditions, principles, and impulses that bring us together.
Fully revised and updated, this 20th anniversary edition of a classic incorporates the insights and practices of a wide range of Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed congregations in addition to Reconstructionist congregations. It also addresses the growing “free will dues” practice.
