Jews have entered a new
age of social crisis, a
Asserting that American California Jewish social
service agency executive
declared that as Jews have
entered the mainstream of
American society, they
have lost their historic im-
munity to the social and
emotional problems which
harass the general Ameri-
can population and lead to
the breakup of families.
Marcia Fisch, executive
director of the Jewish Fam-
ily Service (JFS) of the
Jewish Federation of East
Bay in Oakland, said, "Most
people still are not aware
that Jews, too, are victims of
incest, drug abuse, al-
coholism and spousal
abuse," according to a re-
port in the Northern
California Jewish Bulletin.
She . added, "Jewish
people do not become statis-
tics" in such categories of
social disorganization- "be-
cause they are less likely to
use public agencies. They

Fisch added that Ameri-
can Jews, like others, "move
away from family to pursue
a lifestyle that suits them
professionally or person-
ally.
In addition, she noted,
some 80 percent of Ameri-
can women presently now
work outside of the home,
including American Jewish
women, with one result that
they have little time to care
for aging parents or to give
required attention to the
needs of their children.
