Abstract:
The author invokes the concept of a "Jewish Helping Team" made up of social workers, lawyers, and rabbis, contending that the Jewish community needs to focus its attention more consciously on what this kind of teaming up has to do with Jewish identification and choice. He asserts that such teams carry out a poly-centered Judaism, made up of Halachic, communal and "homeland" dimensions.
