g ,a di

covers the late senator's
approach to overcom-
ing poverty and eco-
nomic injustice. The
second notes changes in
welfare provisions from
the time of Kennedy's
death to the present.
The third presents the
author's views on what
needs to be done
regarding national poli-
cies and community
action.
"The agenda is not
simply to reduce pover-
ty but to raise the
incomes of the much
larger number of peo-
ple who don't earn _
enough to support their families at an
even barely adequate level," says
Edelman, who serves on the boards of a
number of nonprofit organizations that
address the problems so vital to him.
"I was hoping to reach people who
don't necessarily know a great deal
about these issues. I think it's important
that more people in our country under-
stand why we haven't done a better job
and how we could do a better job."
Edelman traces his public interests in



part to a Jewish her-
itage that focused
on issues of justice.
His paternal grand-
father and forebears
were rabbis.
"We had a lot of
consciousness in
our house about
Jewish teaching,
and, of course, lov-
ing your neighbor
as yourself is very
much at the heart
of Jewish teaching,"
says Edelman,
whose three grown
sons have been
raised in these tradi-
tions. "There always
was a sense of everyone being treated
with respect and fairly, and I think that
had some good effects on me.
"I think the Jewish community has a
strong proclivity toward supporting
good public policy in our country
from a progressive point of view. That's
not to speak for each and every one of
us, but I think in general as a commu-
nity. Although we do have that inter-
est, I'm not sure we always carry it out
