Abstract:

In: Journal of Jewish Communal Service 65/4, 328-331. Singles have asked for outreach from the Jewish community in several different areas. They would like to be considered part of the community instead of a marginal group. Ironically, if we wish to strengthen and enhance Jewish family units in the United States today, we must look beyond the so-called conventional Jewish family.
