Abstract:

Jeffery Aizenberg and Harry Rosen in their thoughtful paper bring to the
fore a series of issues which go well beyond a perspective of Center and Federation relations, rather they have significance for the entire field of Jewish communal service. When a major partner in the community's undertaking makes a significant change in its operational philosophy and functional direction, a reappraisal is called for. The changing philosophy of the Federation movement, coupled with the normal changes that are occurring in Centers and other communal institutions, may now require all of us to step back and take a look at what is happening in the community.
