Abstract:

It is simple and, perhaps, facile to write of "Jewish utility," "performance reports," "accountability," and so on. Will Federation support of Jewish life in the East Bay reflect those warm sounding concepts, or will Federation founder because of lack of money, lack of courage or simply be overwhelmed by the seduction of an American society which is really not so encouraging of a Jewish particularism? The evidence is not yet in.
