SELF-ASSESSMENT

EVALUATING YOUR JEWISH LIFE

We designed this exercise because we believe there is no barrier or obstacle which can prevent you from creating or finding a satisfying alternative way to practice your Judaism. We hope to make you aware as you explore the pages of the Center for Jewish Alternatives that there are resources to assist you, your family and your friends in reaching your goal.

Our suggestion is that you decide which of the following are important to you. Then grade each of them based on your level of satisfaction. Your responses will indicate areas to address as you begin to take control of your Jewish life.
1=Very Satisfied 2=Satisfied 3=Somewhat Satisfied
4=Somewhat Dissatisfied 5=Dissatisfied 6=Very Dissatisfied
  1 2 3 4 5 6
