Abstract:

Jewish economic stability is a vital part of Jewish continuity and must be pursued along with efforts to strengthen Jewish education and Israel-Diaspora relations. With government and corporate downsizing likely to continue if not accelerate, more and more Jews will find themselves underemployed or unemployed. The Jewish vocational service agencies need to work together with federations to ensure the economic stability of the Jewish community.
