Matterness: Aligning Jewish Organizations with Jewish Values

Advertisement

Do you sometimes feel like just a number in the eyes of large institutions? Allison Fine believes that there is no reason for this feeling should extend into institutions in the Jewish community; if anything, Jewish community should be a sanctuary of individuality. Using Torah, Fine examines the value of the individual, and argues that by taking risks, Jewish institutions can subvert the problem of feeling like “just a number” in order to create communities in which each person feels deeply important.

Allison Fine is among the pre-eminent guides to the social media revolution. She is the author of Matterness: Fearless Leadership for a Social World and the award-winning Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age, as well as co-author of the bestselling The Networked Nonprofit. Fine’s gift is for converting uncertainty over rapid change into excitement over remaking organizations by the least expensive and most profitable means available: connecting with others.
