Abstract:

Being a professional in a small federation means filling multiple functions, serving as a Jewish role model for both the Jewish and general community, and having one's personal and professional life open to greater scrutiny than in larger communities. The effectiveness of small federations can be enhanced in many ways; doing so is particularly important in light of the movement of large numbers of Jews to emerging communities in the South and West.
