My friend, and non-outed blog reader Mark, sent me a link to the Reboot website.

Here’s their self-description:

Reboot believes that every generation must grapple with the questions of Jewish identity, community and meaning on its own terms. Our goal is to facilitate that process for our generation and to help us “Reboot” the traditions we’ve inherited and make them vital and resonant in our own lives. We are committed to creating opportunities for our peers to gather, to engage, to question and to self-organize with their own networks, in their own way, in their own time — via local Salons, Guilt & Pleasure: the Reboot Journal, and other products like Reboot Records, Reboot Films and Reboot Books

.

Read farther in the website, and it appears that they’re a group of urban postmodern Jews looking into identity and community issues. It’s fantastic reading.

On top of the page is a link to a poll report about community identity in Generation Y. It’s a long read, but has an effective Executive Summary.

Enjoy. (And thanks, Mark, for the email and link).
