Abstract:

Encouraging Israeli social service professionals to conceive of themselves as working within the context of a Jewish society and not only as Israeli society is one of the challenges facing the World Council. As Israeli professionals continue to explore how they can build and strengthen a Jewish state above and beyond the direct services they are providing for their clients, they will develop closer relationships with their Diaspora colleagues, and a true world Jewish community will be created.
