Sam, I agree that the Rabbi is a big part of the equation and peranoslly I think it’s important that the orientation/drashos/sermons be growth oriented, but it has to be at the right pace with the recognition that not everybody is growing at the same speed. It could take a few years before the Rabbi is familiar and comfortable with the Shul’s growth-orientation and knows the right amount of inspiration/motivation to apply.I think that the president/board still bears a great deal of the responsibility for growth and it may be unfair to place so much of the responsibility on the Rabbi. There are many factors that go into a Shul’s popularity and it is often difficult for particular shuls to grow in neighborhoods with many choices. Perhaps it makes sense to get out of the building and talk to your friends in other Shuls and ask their opinion as to why your shul is not drawing a larger membership.

i agree with Benji. very few Jews in the 20 s and 30 s bracket entatd shul on a regular basis, if at all. the ones that do go regularly or semi-often are typically already married. for Jews that are not overly religious but only date within the faith, they rely on friends to introduce them to other single Jews. this way, they don’t have to pay outrageous fees for online dating or matchmaking services and aren’t confined to a religious setting to meet other MOT’s. does it work? sometimes.

Chevrei Tzedek, the Conservative shul that I belong to, is one such shul and has been around for more than two decades.

One of the great things about Orthodoxy is that there are plenty of small shuls, which are more intimate and friendly.  These are the type of places where “everybody knows your name,” where individuals are missed if they don’t show up.  Perhaps the Conservative and Reform movements would be better served if they had some movement away from the mega-shul concept.  Just a thought.
