Orthodox Seek
Worker Benefits

New York (JTA) —
Reaching out to Jews of all
backgrounds, recognizing
the special needs of various
subgroups within the larger
community, and the profes-
sional/personal needs of the
Jewish outreach workers
were among the topics
discussed at the second in-
ternational convention of
the Association for Jewish
Outreach Professionals.
The gathering, held last
month, drew more than 200
participants from 60 cities in
24 states and five countries.
Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald,
president of the association,
widely known as AJOP,
called on Jewish community
federations to extend to
outreach workers the same
professional benefits
routinely afforded Jewish
educators.
They include health and
life insurance, pension pro-
grams and a salary scale
commensurate with the
levels of dedication and skill
outreach work requires,
Buchwald said.
The primary goal of AJOP
•
is to bring home the rel-
•
evance and rewards of living
a religious life today.
Although the overwhelm-
ing majority of AJOP
/- workers are Orthodox, they
say their aim is to encourage
/--- greater levels of Jewish
identity, affiliation and
observance among Jews of
all backgrounds.
AJOP studies indicate that
less than 20 percent of the
people touched by Jewish
•
outreach become Orthodox
themselves, according to
Gerald Weisberg, executive
director of AJOP.
Another speaker at the
convention, Rabbi Herman
Neuberger, vice president of
\i„ the Ner Israel Rabbinical
College in Baltimore, rec-
\,
ommended efforts to work
with secular or non-
) denominational Jewish
groups rather than with non-
> Orthodox religious leaders
who he said may be hostile
to Orthodoxy.
