Abstract:

The author briefly reviews the history of Jewish communal organization in the United States, and how it came to be where it is. Among its chief weaknesses is the duplication of labor and the instability of financial support. He recommends a multi-step process towards the federation of Jewish charitable and social service activities under regional umbrella organizations.
