CJF Governing Board
Undergoes Change
Washington (JTA)
Last
week's first-ever meeting of
the Council of Jewish Fed-
erations' board of delegates
highlighted the tensions
that accompany a sprawling
federation system undergo-
ing change.
CJF, until now organized
as a loose affiliation of in-
dependent Jewish commun-
ity institutions, finds itself
grappling increasingly with
issues that span the conti-
nent.
To help address those
issues, the CJF last
November created the board
of delegates as its governing
body. The move was part of
the trend toward what CJF
calls "continental collective
responsibility."
But the fragility of the
communal commitment to
such a continental, rather
than local, orientation was
evident at the board's first
meeting, held here April 26.
It resulted in a modifica-
tion in the way federations
help finance the reset-
tlement of immigrants to
America from the former
Soviet Union.
The modification decreases
the amount federations
which resettle few refugees
pay to those which resettle
many. It was passed by the
board of delegates only be-
cause the largest federa-
tions, who will lose the most
money from the change,
decided not to strain the
commitment of smaller fed-
erations to collective respon-
sibility.
With the modification, the
board of delegates was able
to salvage the notion of col-
lective responsibility and ex-
tend, for a fourth year, the
program under which the
costs of resettling Soviet
Jews are shared by federa-
tions across the entire conti-
nent.
The creation of the board
of delegates, with its system
of proportional representa-
tion, was itself a step for-
ward for the idea of collec-
tive responsibility.
It replaced what had been
a board made up of represen-
tatives of as many of the 189
CJF federations as possible.
Under the new system,
each federation has at least
two delegates and a
weighted number of votes
according to a complex for-
mula based on the number of
people in its Jewish com-
—
munity and the number of
dollars brought in by its an-
nual fund-raising campaign.
A similar "fair-share"
formula allocates respon-
sibility to each federation for
a certain proportion of the
roughly 40,000 Jewish refu-
gees admitted to the United
States annually.
But since the refugees are
not directed to specific cities,
but choose where to settle in
based on other factors
—primarily, where they
have relatives — federations
that do not meet their quota
pay a sum of money into a
collective pot that is used to
reimburse those that exceed
their quota.
Until now, the sum has
been $1,000 per immigrant,
a figure that amounts to less
than the average amount ac-
tually spent by local federa-
tions for food, clothing, hous-

ing and language and voca-
tional training for the new
immigrants.
Grants from the federal
government also help defray
these costs.
At the meeting April 26,
more than one delegate ex-
pressed concern over the per
capita figure, saying that
their federations were being
overcharged. These dele-
gates, mostly from the
smaller federations, offered
an amendment to the resolu-
tion renewing the program,
which would decrease the
per capita sum to $750.
When the proposal came
up for a vote, it became clear
the count would be close.
Some delegates feared the
opposition to the $1,000 fig-
ure was so great that
without the $750 modified
sum, some federations might
pull out of the program alto-
gether.
At that point, New York
and Los Angeles — two fed-
erations that receive a large
percentage of the reim-
bursement dollars and by
virtue of their size hold
many votes on the board —
shifted their position in
favor of the amendment, en-
suring its passage.
