Jewish Family Service: New Models for the New Millennium
Journal of Jewish Communal Service. Volume 82, number 1/2: Winter/Spring 2007
Table of Contents:
It has been 10 years since the last time the Journal of Jewish Communal Service focused upon Jewish Family Services. Like the 1996/7 journal, this issue contains articles on Jewish healing, spirituality and the role of affiliation-bolstering programming in family services, leadership, philanthropy and entrepreneurialism, addiction, poverty, domestic violence, and disability services in the Jewish community.
What is different about this issue is the new approach service providers are taking. In past years, JFS programs took place in offices and facilities. As is evident in this journal, practitioners are now reaching out to clients, donors, stakeholders and others in a more active way. Also, service providers are accomodating themselves to the new Jewish family, which is no longer the two-parent, two-child model.
