"We're trying to target families —
people whose kids won't sit through a
three-hour service," Supowit said. "If
you are going to come for two hours,
we try to make it the most meaning-
ful two hours."
Although young families are the
main focus of the efforts, young
adults and students of any age have
been hooked by the new alternative.
Linda Jacobson, co-chair of the
religious committee at Shaarey Zedek,
said people are looking for less_tradi-
tional, more personal services from
their synagogues. "People's needs and
what they're looking for in a syna-
aoa b ue are chanaina a little bit," she
said. "The formality isn't necessarily
what people are looking for now.
But having so many options can
present problems.
In congregations in New York and
elsewhere, the services are held each
week, with sometimes as many as
five different minyanim meeting
each Shabbat morning in different
areas of the same building. While
the move has brought a larger num-
ber of people back to the congrega-
tions, it has inadvertently caused
rivalry among the different minvan-
im for choice space.
In other congregations, the move
has fractured the larger sense of com-
munity present in the bigger congre-
gations. Because of this, some local
congregations have scheduled the
alternative services once a month and
are careful not to schedule too many
alternative worship groups at once.
"The danger in synagogues that
have permanent library/chapel
minvans is that they tend to get a
congregation within a congregation,
and sometimes people don't interact
with each other," Rabbi Nevins said.
"We want to retain a sense of having
one congregation."

Contrary to a statement in
"Caring For Settlers," which ran
Nov. 20, no Jewish settlements in
Judea, Samaria or Gaza will be
transmitted to Palestinian control
under terms of the Wye agree-
ment, according to Irwin
Borvick, executive vice president
of One Israel Fund. The New
York City-based humanitarian
organization raises funds for
humanitarian needs in the Jewish
communities of Judea, Samaria
and Gaza.
