Report of the Ad Hoc Committee to Explore the role of the National Conference of Jewish Communal Service in Social Action

Jewish Communal Service Association of North America, National Conference of Jewish Communal Service, Winter 1961

In 1951, the National Conference of Jewish Communal Service (NCJCS) defined its role as "specifically that of the professional forum for Jewish community service." In 1961, the NCJCS laid out principles regarding how best to become more socially active. It was decided not to have a firm policy with regard to particular issues but rather to have a standing committee that would examine contemporary issues of social action and determine whether and how to shape a positive Jewish response.
