Creation of a Commission on Jewish Community Center-Jewish Federation Relationships under the joint sponsorship of the National Jewish Welfare Board and the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds was announced here today by Irving Edison, JWB president, and Julian Freeman, CJFWF president.
The Commission has been established to undertake four major tasks: 1. To review and analyze the experience of the agencies involved in Center-Federation relationships; 2. To examine the practices which have successfully served the needs of the communities and other practices which have not been found satisfactory by the agencies concerned; 3. To analyze the reasons for the results; 4. To crystallize the principles and procedures growing out of that experience as guides to communities in developing the types of relationships which will best advance communal progress.
The commission is advisory in nature and is responsible to both CJFWF and JWB. It will submit its findings and recommendations to both organizations for consideration and possible action.
