What is Jewish Communal Service?

Jewish communal service is a field comprised of dedicated individuals engaged in professional work within the Jewish community. These professionals are employed by international, national and local Jewish organizations. Working in areas such as development, programming and outreach, Jewish communal professionals bring their passion for Jewish living to enhance and strengthen the Jewish world.

Why Jewish Non-Profit Management?

Jewish communal professionals are often required to be skilled supervisors, savvy fiscal planners, exemplary fundraisers, and superb organizational managers. Especially in difficult financial times, efficient utilization of resources may make the difference between a struggle for organizational survival and growing a dynamic agency.
