CJF AT 50: The entrance of the Council-of Jewish
Federations into its 50th year of existence — to be inaugu-
rated at its General Assembly next week in St.. Louis —
constitutes a milestone in American Jewish history. It
marks 50 years of building the Jewish communities in the
'United States and Canada.
The first Jewish federation was established in Boston
in 1895, followed by Cincinnati which held its first feder-
ated campaign in 1896 and was the first city to assume full
responsibility for agency programs and for eliminating
separate agency appeals.
Successful in Boston and Cincinnati, the federation
movement spread to Chicago,Philadelphia, Cleveland, De-
troit, St. Louis, Kansas City and Milwaukee. The cities
which in 1904 considered but had not yet organized federa-
tions included New York, Baltimore — which established
its Federation in 1907—San Francisco (1910) Los Angeles
(1912) and Pittsburgh (1912).
THE RISE OF CJF: When the Council of Jewili
Fedei-ations was established 50 years ago, there were some
15 federations and welfare funds associated with it. Today
there are more than 200 affiliates. They serve more than
800 communities embracing more than 90 percent of the
entire Jewish population in the U.S. and Canada.
The CJF is their central organ, helping them to ad-
vance the objectives of Jewish communal services through
cooperative planning and action and by providing a variety
of central services. The General Assembly is the annual
meeting at which the CJF member agencies define major
communal objectives, and programs, determine joint proj-
ects and set the CJF's policies.
I remember the early years of the CJF, when its Gen-
eral Assembly — held every year in a different city — was
attended by a few hundred lay leaders and professional
men and women. Today, the General Assembly is attended
by about 3,000 participants from all over the United States
and Canada. It has developed into the largest Jewish repre-
sentative gathering in the world. It is considered by many
"the parliament of North American Jewry." Its decisions on
a variety of complex problems affect not only Jewish com-
munal life in this country but have also reverberations in
Jewish communities overseas, including Israel.
THE ROLE OF THE CJF: The Council of Jewish
Federations plans and coordinates activities of the federa-
tions in the fields of social welfare; strengthens Jewish
identity; develops young leadership; and helps to meet the
changes and challenges which the communities face. As the
central body of the federations, the CJF is practically their
brain-trust and coordinator of current programs and new
projects.
The CJF 50th General Assembly in St. Louis will be
the largest ever held. It has a most vital and comprehensive
agenda. Virtually every major Jewish need and responsi-
bility is on the agenda — the impact of inflation on the
programs of Jewish institutions; the impact of the new tax
law on philanthropic giving; the impact of the $35 billion
cutback in the Federal budget on Jewish institutions;
strengthening Jewish consciousness; peace-making in the
Middle East under the new U.S. Administration; advocacy
on behalf of Soviet Jewry; and the danger spots for Jews in
various countries.
Also on the agenda are the dangers of cults and mis-
sionaries for American Jewish youth; the rebuilding of
Jewish family life in the U.S.; the growing number of
Jewish aged; Jewish education and culture; the growing
Jewish constituency of the unmarried; combatting anti-
Semitism, as well as many other problems faced now by the
American Jewish community locally, nationally and inter-
nationally.
Scheduled to succeed Morton Mandel of Cleveland as
CJF president is Martin E. Citrin of Detroit, a CJF vice
president who served as president of the Detroit Jewish
Welfare Federation and is a nationally prominent Jewish
leader active in Jewish affairs. He is a member of the board
of directors of the United Jewish Appeal, a member of the
board of governors of the Jewish Agency, and has taken
part in conferences in Washington between the State De-
partment and Jewish leaders, representing the CJF and
the organized Jewish communities in the United States.
