Where the boys are

Frogs and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails -- that's what little boys are made of, says the old nursery rhyme. But active in Jewish institutional life?

It seems, they are not.

A recently released study titled "Engaging Jewish Teenage Boys: A Call to Action," and conducted by the Philadelphia-based organization, Moving Traditions, found that teenage boys drop out of Jewish institutions in large numbers shortly after becoming b'nai mitzvah -- and they rarely come back.
