Abstract:
The author argues that social planning is an inherently political endeavor, and that the American Jewish community can be more effective in setting and meeting social goals if it admits this candidly. He suggests that Jewish communities ought to embrace a dynamic planning process that includes some measure of expected, constructive struggle and discomfort.
