Journal of Jewish Communal Service Submission Guidelines

The Journal of Jewish Communal Service invites submission of articles on practice, theoretical principles or research in Jewish communal service, the general field and any of its component divisions, or in related fields of practice and knowledge.

All articles submitted to the Journal must be sent via email as a Word Document, double spaced and, optimally, 3500-5000 words in length.

The Journal uses the American Psychological Association reference style. All the works cited in the text are listed at the end of the article. References in the text are cited by the name-date system in which the author and date are enclosed in parentheses at the end of the sentence in which the work is cited. This style eliminates the need for reference footnotes within the text itself.

Every manuscript is given careful consideration by the editor and is submitted to the members of the Publications Committee for a blind review, with the author’s name masked. Therefore, a significant amount of time may elapse between an article’s submission and notification to the author of the editorial decision that has been reached.

Articles may be submitted to the Managing Editor at info@jcsana.org.

To be of use

The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.

I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.

Marge Piercy, Circles on the Water, 1982.
