Uses

The volume offers those affiliated with Jewish social and religious organizations with information that may enable them to better understand and build on Jewish traditions at a time in history when Jewish identification is weakening among younger generations.  The author suggests that familiarity with the particular local circumstances of community provides opportunities for the development of new outreach organizations.  The guide also provides individuals of other faiths with useful information about the wide range of communal and nonprofit agencies that provide social services and other kinds of community support.
