Abstract:

The author argues that Jewish family and children's service agencies are, by and large, more effective at integrating their Jewishness into their work than is often charged by critics. But he acknowledges that these agencies are not yet as Jewish in essence as most Jewish professionals would like them to be. The author asserts that the field is hard at work developing new methods to make these agencies more intrinsically Jewish.
