Policy Implications of the Gender Imbalance among America’s Jews

Policy Implications of the Gender Imbalance among America’s Jews

December 10, 2008 | Sylvia Barack Fishman, Daniel Parmer
Within the liberal wings of American Judaism, women are increasingly prominent both as leaders and participants, and men are increasingly marginal.

Foundations of an Israeli Grand Strategy toward the European Union

Foundations of an Israeli Grand Strategy toward the European Union

October 21, 2004 | Prof. Yehezkel Dror
Israel urgently needs a grand strategy toward the European Union. This is all the more so because the two parties disagree profoundly on fundamental issues and seriously misperceive each other.

The Changing Character of American Jewish Leadership: Some Policy Implications

The Changing Character of American Jewish Leadership: Some Policy Implications

April 2, 1991
The study of policy-making in the Jewish community is a generally neglected area in contemporary research on Jewish life. One way to begin exploration of this domain is by looking at the characteristics of Jewish communal leaders, those who play the greatest role in policy-making. Over the past few decades leadership characteristics have been changing. Research and impressionistic evidence confirm that Jewish organizational leaders are more Jewishly-oriented, more focused on "survival" issues, and more formally socialized into leadership roles than in the past. These changes have a number of implications for both the substance of communal policies and the dynamics of policy-making which bear further study.
