The development of democratically-constituted central communal fund-raising and planning bodies which would serve as community sounding boards for the solution of problems and would owe major loyalties to the “Jewish people” as a whole was urged at a conference of the Hudson River Valley communities called to deal with local problems in Jewish community organizations.
The conference, sponsored by the Council of Jewish Federation and Welfare Funds, was held at the Jewish Community Center here. More than 60 representatives from Jewish communities of the New York-Ontario region of the C.J.F.W.F. participated in the parley, which discussed the question of how to strengthen communal planning bodies. The delegates also considered a number of major problems involved in the organization and operation of community councils and their relationship with other organizations and groups in the community.
