The opening as it read in 2025
Jewish congregation in the United States The Jewish Emergent Network is a network of seven independent Jewish congregations in the United States. Founded in January 2016, the network shares a "devotion to revitalizing the field of Jewish engagement, a commitment to approaches both traditionally rooted and creative, and a demonstrated success in attracting unaffiliated and disengaged Jews to a rich and meaningful Jewish practice." The various members of the Network have a wide range of religious perspectives, but share a commitment to reaching populations that are not addressed by traditional American synagogues and fighting "demographic free fall." The Network currently includes IKAR in Los Angeles, Kavana in Seattle, The Kitchen in San Francisco, Mishkan in Chicago, Sixth & I in Washington, D.C., and Lab/Shul and Romemu in New York.

The Jewish Emergent Network is a network of seven independent Jewish congregations that share a "devotion to revitalizing the field of Jewish engagement, a commitment to approaches both traditionally rooted and creative, and a demonstrated success in attracting unaffiliated and disengaged Jews to a rich and meaningful Jewish practice." The organization says that its term, "Jewish emergent," is taken from a series of articles by Shawn Landres, who developed the term by studying three types of non-traditional Jewish communities -- lay-led independent minyanim , "start-up" congregations that were still led by clergy, and "parashuls" (a Jewish spiritual community where religious worship activity is not the primary religious activity). The Network currently includes IKAR in Los Angeles, Kavana in Seattle, The Kitchen in San Francisco, Mishkan in Chicago, Sixth & I in Washington, D.C., and Lab/Shul and Romemu in New York. The organization holds an annual conference, the "(Re)VISION Conference," as well as funding a fellowship for junior rabbis to be placed in multi-year fellowships at each of its member institutions.
