Abstract:

The merging of shared concerns between the federation and community relations field has grown over the past three decades. However, at times, areas of tension have arisen over different approaches to these concerns, particularly in communities where Jewish community relations councils are independent federation agencies. This article recommends ways in which federation and JCRCs can work together in a positive partnership.
