Journal of Jewish Communal Service
JPRO publishes the Journal of Jewish Communal Service, now celebrating over 89 years of continuous publication. The Journal’s articles are an excellent retrospective of the issues and concerns the Jewish community has faced during these decades.
But more than “just” an historical treasure chest, this is the journal of record and authority for Jewish communal leaders and documents the development of new trends and methodologies which enhance our work. The Journal is often used in university classrooms and for lay and professional seminars.
