What is JPro?

Local group associations foster networking, skill-building, career enhancement, collaboration and an appreciation of the magnitude of career opportunities in Jewish communal service.

In communities and regions across North America, thousands of participants gain an understanding of how their skills and knowledge can be transferable from organization to agency to enhance their careers and advance the Jewish community.

Local groups help recruit and retain quality professionals, expanding an awareness of the totality of practice and new developments. Talent and leadership are recognized and rewarded, providing gratification and personal meaning to career choices and collegial relationships.

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.
