 The Jewish Week
For KJ, as for many synagogues that have a beginner’s service, the structure is based on a model created by Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald at Lincoln Square Synagogue in 1975, and further formalized through the National Jewish Outreach Program, which he founded.
The Lincoln Square service, which, over the past 30 years Rabbi Buchwald says, has attracted more than 10,000 beginners, also omits what are known as the “devarim she b’kedusha,” the prayers like Kaddish or Borchu that require a minyan.
The goal, says Rabbi Buchwald, “is to encourage people to eventually leave and go on to the main service.” In other words, to make sure the beginner’s service is not an end in itself, but a means of incorporating a new community of Jews into the larger synagogue community.

I watched in amazement as Rabbi Buchwald conducted this service using a language of which I knew almost nothing and cheerfully - yes, cheerfully - fielded questions from the audience, who would interrupt him at almost any point - which he invited - with questions which were often hostile.
This total world-view of Torah Judaism was completely alien to the dominant Western culture that I was a part of, which essentially consigned "religion" to a set of once-a-week beliefs with little concrete linkage to the actions one performs in the world and in the home.
I remember being amazed at the notion being expressed by Rabbi Buchwald that the home was just as important - nay, more important - to the life of the observant Jew than the synagogue.
