Abstract:

Ted Comet retired after a half-century of outstanding professional service to the worldwide Jewish community, primarily through his lengthy association with the Joint Distribution Committee. At a reception in his honor in March, 1997, Ted offered reflections on that extraordinary career and the changes that have taken place in the Jewish community. The Journal is privileged to share Ted's remarks, and we add our congratulations to those of Ted's many colleagues and friends.
