by Kraar's decision. "I have been
aware that Marty was considering
other options for the past year," he
said.
Kraar's recent tenure has been con-
sumed with plans for what has lately
been called "the road to merger." By
all accounts, it has been a rocky road,
with many pitfalls and plenty of ups
and downs.
Earlier attempts at a merger failed,
and the current "partnership" has had
many incarnations. Most recently,
some 125 leaders from local federa-
tions and the key partnership con-
stituencies convened in Chicago to
lay down the groundwork for the
merger, which is now scheduled to be
finalized by next April.
A memorandum from that meet-
ing has been circulated to 180 federa-
tions in North America to elicit reac-
tions to proposed initiatives, such as
giving local federations a greater
stake, or "ownership," in the partner-
ship and wider representation in gov-
ernance and decision-making.
With local federations gaining a
majority voice in the new entity,
however, the exact role of its future
executive is not yet clear.
Rumors about the position's prime
candidates have circulated since plans
for a CJF-UJA partnership first sur-
faced.
The names most often mentioned
come from the top tiers of America's
largest federations. They include
Steven Nasatir, president of the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Chicago; Aronson of Detroit; and
Stephen Solender, executive vice pres-
ident of New York's UJA-Federation.
Choosing one of them is consid-
ered a more likely scenario than giv-
ing the post to Bernard Moscovitz,
executive vice president of UJA.
But another option is bringing in a
high-profile individual from outside
the federated system. One such name
bandied about has been Rudy
Boschwitz, the former Republican
senator from Minnesota.
Another name that has surfaced
lately is Richard Joel, the dynamic
president and international director
of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish
Campus Life.
Search committee members are
tight-lipped about front-runners for
the CJF-UJA job, saying only that
they would seek out someone familiar
to the federated system and that the
search process would be open to all
qualified candidates.
The committee, led by Pearlstone

and Daniel Shapiro of New York, and al
to be staffed by Darrell Friedman,
president of the Associated: Jewish
Community Federation of Baltimore,
will hold its first full meeting in New
York on Aug. 10 to define a job
description and to discuss hiring a
search firm to bring in candidates.
Until then, Pearlstone insists, any
talk of candidates is sheer specula-
tion. "There are no candidates. We
haven't asked for any candidates," he
said.
Last month, amid the speculation,
Aronson told the Jewish News he was
"complimented to be thought of as
someone who could do the job." Last
week, he said he expects to make a
public statement about the potential
job opportunity later this month.
Among the 23 search committee
members are three Detroiters, all
past presidents of the Detroit
Federation: Giles, Max Fisher and
Joel Tauber.
Giles said a new chief professional
officer at CJF will take over for Kraar
once his date of departure is set prior
to the November general assembly
meeting of CJF-UJA in Jerusalem.
For his part, Kraar said he planned 41
on "seeing this thing to a logical
point."
-
Giles expressed confidence in the
current team of professionals, which
he credits Kraar with assembling for
the partnership's final phase. "One of
the measures of the organization he
has built will be the success of the
institution as it moves forward,"
41
Giles said. ❑

Persecution Bill
Is Postponed

Washington (JTA) — The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee post-
poned indefinitely consideration of
legislation aimed at fighting religious
persecution abroad.
The measure was brought down
when several Republicans, concerned
about alienating diplomatic friends
and economic partners, planned to
join Democrats in rejecting the legis-
lation.
The bill would compel the govern-
ment to publish a list of offending
countries and would allow the presi-
dent responses ranging from mild
diplomatic protest to strict economic
sanctions. The House of
Representatives approved a different
version of the bill in. May by a huge
majority.
