Abstract:

People who are involved in one aspect of communal life "spill over" to other areas of involvement. Members of Jewish organizations are likely also to belong to synagogues and to give to Jewish philanthropy. Organizations frequently see themselves in competition for the same members and same donors. Although this is an organizational reality, there needs to be greater recognition of "the more, the more."
