Abstract:
The response of the laity and professionals to the tremendously increased demands of Soviet resettlement has important implications for the future of the Jewish community and the professional's role in that future. Three concepts central to the communal enterprise—filtered giving, Israel as centerpiece, and consensus —require re-examination in light of this recent experience.
