Larger Picture
In meeting after meeting with these
social entrepreneurs, I was deeply
moved by their commitment and
their realization that they must be a
part of the greater system and not
just its critics.
Many believe that our greatest
challenge is a lack of financial
resources, but it's not. Others believe
that our greatest challenge is that if
we experiment and fail, we will risk
all that we have built and sustained.
But that fact is that the biggest risk
of all would be to ignore what a new
generation of small and large donors
is telling us.
As we look to the future, our com-
munity will need to develop a far
more entrepreneurial and collabora-
tive environment to meet the grow-
ing needs and attract a new genera-
tion. We must welcome philanthro-
pists to the table as partners
because of their ideas and not just
their support. We must not only try
bold, new initiatives, but we must
also be willing to invest in ideas and
strategies that have no guarantees of
success.
The UJC system has an enormous
challenge ahead to assess its role in
such a world. So if this year's G.A.
has the potential to be a turning
point, we must ask ourselves "what
comes next?"
I am more optimistic about the
future then ever before because I
witnessed the power of a new gener-
ation of Jewish, social entrepreneurs.
I am proud of a UJC system that
gave a voice to those who wished to
be heard, even if the message was at
times painful.
So when asked the question, "Can
one truly be inspired by the General
Assembly?" I can today unequivocal-
ly answer, yes. II
