Abstract:

The human diversity among the leaders of Jewish organizations is tied together with the thread of altruism. While they may differ in personality, style and physical appearance, the central unifying characteristic of the Jewish leaders is perhaps best summed up by the rabbinic dictum, "Great is learning if it leads to practice.
