ation felt it had eclipsed the
synagogue as the central ad-
dress of the Jewish commu-
nity. But the synagogues are
where the Jews are, and it is
imperative that synagogues
and federations work more
closely together in sharing re-
sources, personnel and a phi-
losophy of strengthening
Jewish life.
To rabbis, that does not
mean simply being incorpo-
rated into the federation
process. They resent the idea
of being co-opted now that
federation has discovered that
it needs them to keep the
Jewish enterprise afloat. The
leaders of the synagogue com-
munity want to be treated as
equal partners, and that re-
quires a new model. I sug-
gested that more rabbis be
given slots on boards of fed-
erations and that federations

help fund synagogue projects
such as providing family ed-
ucators to work within con-
gregations.
In sum, I called for a
greater sense of urgency for
federations to deal with the
crisis of Jewish continuity.
Blue-ribbon task forces move
too slowly and tell us what we
already know: that we are los-
ing a generation of young
Jews to indifference.
I suspect that we know the
solutions, and have known
them, but were too timid to
act because it involves grap-
pling with religion and work-
ing through a religious
framework.
Closing my remarks, I re-
called the weekly Torah por-
tion and Moses' encounter

Perhaps today our sloga
should be Let My Peopl
Know, I suggested, concen
trating our efforts on libera,
ing American Jewry from th
slavery of Jewish ignoran
to the freedom of awarenes
and appreciation of our Je
ish heritage.
How did my presentatio
go over? It's hard for me to
sess. One of the respondents
an executive of a federatio
in a major city, disagreed wit
most of what I had to say,
serting that my message wa

I respect what he had to
say but he didn't change my
mind. I don't think adding up
the dollars spent is an accr/
rate measure of a program'4
success or failure. And I'm
sure I didn't change his mind,
either.
I sensed from the ensuing
discussion and give-and-take
with the audience, though/
that there is a deep sense of
concern among the leaders of
the federation movement
about the crisis of Jewish con=
tinuity.

stand the "why's" of the
world, we can use the cir-
cumstances to teach respon-
sibility and action. Seeing
those less fortunate than
ourselves allows us the
opportunity to teach what re-
sponsibility we have to help
and how we can get involved
to help change the situation.
Whether this manifests itself
in volunteering for the home-

less, at Yad Ezra, or donat-
ing money in a crisis, or on a
more personal level of offer- <
ing emotional support to
friends in times of sadness,
we can teach our children c%
that involvement makes a
different. Although we have
no control over life's events,
we can always control how
we respond to them. ❑
