Federation Task
Forces to Handle
Family Problems

Right In Your
Own Driveway!

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Ten Jewish federations
have reported forming
committees on the Jewish
family and 30 others have
indicated they plan to estab-
lish such committees, ac-
cording to the Council of
Jewish Federations (CJF).
The project was designed
to help federations develop
their role as the focal point
of a systematic community
approach to the Jewish fam-
ily at different stages in the
life cycle.
As part of the project,
which was endorsed by the
CJF board of directors in
January, federations will be
invited to develop pilot pro-
grams which will eventu-
ally serve as replicable
models for other com-
munities.
