Scenario design is an iterative process. Thus, the process we did at JFN is by no means the end of the road. We envision the following next steps:

• JFN working groups focusing on different funding areas of the community —Human Services, Arts and Culture, Haredim, Summer Camps, etc. —will identity implications, opportunities and threats  for their respective sectors.
• JFN will assist funders that seek to deepen these scenarios and apply them to their own work.
• JFN will work with its partners toward convening a broad communal conversation about the post-Covid world. 
• Jewish organizations, umbrella bodies or national agencies, can use these scenarios as they craft their strategies for the future. Each organization should ask itself: Am I ready to face any of these scenarios? If not, what do I need to do?

Thinking of future scenarios can be unsettling. It requires open-mindedness and humility, because it demands that we admit that there are many things about the future that we can’t control. We realize that, ultimately, we cannot stop the tsunami of the future, but with the creativity and vision, we can learn how to surf it.
