FROta) ROUTES TO ROOTS: A FAcoiLg the new direction AJE has taken under the leadership of Howard Gelberd. Yet he questioned allocation of communal dollars by Federation. "The purpose of commu- nal dollars is to put them in the hands of people who cre- ate education advancement and innovation," Rabbi Dia- mond said. "However, Fed- eration demands dollars go to multiple institutions to create a single program. It shackles growth." Instead, Rabbi Diamond would like to see funds go to a single institution to create successful educational pro- grams which could be repli- cated throughout the com- munity.
