Abstract:

One of the crucial issues of the 1990s will be to restructure the relationship between Federations and synagogues. We no longer have the luxury of acting out old antagonisms or of fighting futile battles. We must create a new order, more along the lines of a partnership that utilizes the strengths of each institution. UJA's Rabbinic Cabinet should be the national address for a new era of creative synagogue-Federation discussions.
