I fear too many of us are gosh, I hate to say it, dying off, but I see fewer articles posted, less commentary. And the site went down during the Inaugural. That was terrible for us. I’ve had to broaden, start perusing other sites. It’s quite a bother. I do contribute though.
There is something very unwelcoming about FR unless you have been here a long time. Thus it skews older which is never good for an organization.
I belonged to a conservative synagogue with a young nice rabbi but if I came to services with my kids, quite young, and one had special needs, the old timers were constantly shusshing us and making me feel unwelcome. I spoke to people about it to let them know, and then I left. The little group of oldies got smaller and smaller. If you don’t welcome young people you die.
