Abstract:

At the very time when the nonprofit sector is under growing attack by every level of government, the general media, and the public, the Jewish communal enterprise has become increasingly insular. To position itself to respond to the challenges facing the nonprofit sector, the Jewish community must strengthen the accountability of its boards and become more involved in those organizations that represent the interests of the nonprofit sector.
