Mapping Networks
Mapping canilluminate key opportunities for action and
investment
Know the Net – see the map of how things really work Knit the Net – adjust the network for improvements
SOCIALIZE
Here’s an idea: Post questions to promote social culture, even if you know the answer.
Temple BethAbraham in
Tarrytown, NY
Build and Engage the Network• Develop more
relation-based rather than institutionally-based communications
• We tend to send out broadcast messages– OK, but good to activate
more social interactions
As You Socialize
BE YOUR TRUE SELF!
Listening & Engaging:You have to BE
IN the conversation
Rabbi Danny Burkeman on Twitter (@Rabbi_Danny) shares his professional activities, reflections, thought leadership, hobbies and more in conversation with his local community and beyond.
People Want to Hear From and Engage With Clergy
Beth Am FB Postings from
May 2-June 11, 2012
These are postings which went unanswered – lost opportunities for potential conversations.
Make Connections

Celebrate/Share Successes
Celebrate Successes & Grow
Beth Am Members who probably “Liked” our page after hearing about postings that they relate to, directly or indirectly.
Beth Kanter• Make it personal. Ask audience for stories,
input, thoughts! Emphasize theirimportance to the community and allow them to run with projects and to be creative.Everyone wants to contribute and to make something better/leave a lasting mark.
• Humanize your leaders. Make them available. If the members feel like the community is very hierarchical they may never feel like they belong on the “inside”. Use your position to energize your community.
• Play matchmaker. The leaders in the community should focus onputting people together with ideas, interests, etc. Help them bridge the social interaction gap.
Humanize Your Leaders
Some Ideas for Posts• It’s Friday! What have we learned this week?• What does the shofar
call you to do?• Comment/ask questions
about Parshah• Instagram/video postings• Sermon link to article on Facebook• Get creative
Facebook• It’s NOT interruption technology!– It’s a listserve without the interruption
• Fundraisers: For every event “Like” get a $• Where are you? Include location if taking place
“offsite”• Who are you with?• Schedule a post: set a posting to reveal itself on a
future date• Add “Like” button to footer/
signature of email
Demographics
• Check out demographics– Overviews / “Likes” / Reach / Talking About– Plan content and see what is effective
Social Sermon
Sweet Spot
What is a “Social Sermon”?
• Opportunities to engage in LEARNING and COMMUNITY BUILDING using online tools
• Weaving this content and these relationships back into the FACE TO FACE community in our local communities talk about what was discussed online
• Inviting ACTIVE participation, rather than passive attendance
Social Sermon• Assumption: There are audiences who are interested in Jewish learning, but
unable or unwilling to come to regular adult education classes.
• Objective: Torah study and community building don't have to happen in the building, at a set time, face to face.
• Strategy: Getting more people to participate in education and community more often doesn't mean market it more. Time to rethink our design.
Six-Word Story• Finding the words to capture our stories and reflect on our
legacies is a quintessential Jewish project. (Moses, apparently, did not get the memo about the six-word limit, since he spent all 34 chapters of the book of Devarim--the Book of Words--recalling his journey with the Jewish people.)
• At this season, in which we assess the year gone by and make promises for the year ahead, I'd like to invite each of us to share your own Six-Word Jewish Story.
• And then what? These stories, our stories, the words of our community, will shape a "Social Sermon" for Shabbat Shuvah. A "social sermon" is a deeply participatory experience, capturing and building on an online dialogue that begins here, now. New Year, fresh start, six words.
