Abstract:

Since Talmudic times, Jewish communal service has been understood to be an equally distinguished calling as those who devote themselves exclusively to study. Yet, too often the Jewish community does not value Jewish communal professionals the same way it values other professionals. If communities are to thrive, this inequity must end.
