Frontlines: Pushing the envelope | Front Lines - the week that was | Jerusalem Post

Frontlines: Pushing the envelope | Front Lines - the week that was | Jerusalem Post: "Ahead of the gathering, The Jerusalem Post spoke to the new leaders of the federation network, chief executive Jerry Silverman and incoming top lay leader Kathy Manning, who insist that the federations will continue helping Israel's poor even as Israel comes through the financial crisis in better shape than the federations, that contrary to the popular imagination, the federations are at the center of Jewish innovation in America, that the 'iPod generation' can be folded into Jewish life and that the future of American Jewry, despite the constant wrist-wringing of Jews through the ages, is bright.

AMONG THE first acts Silverman wants to lead in the federation system is a rethinking of the federations' priorities outside the US."
