Subject: [ha-Safran]: New books from HUC-JIR School of Jewish Communal Service
INTRODUCING THREE EXCITING PUBLICATIONS
LEARN FIRST HAND ABOUT THE LARGEST MERGER IN THE
NONPROFIT SECTOR IN THE 20TH CENTURY
UNCOVER THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN JEWISH HERO
AND
READ SELECTED WRITINGS OF AN AMERICAN JEWISH SCHOLAR
FROM PREDICTABILITY TO CHAOS?? HOW JEWISH LEADERS
REINVENTED THEIR NATIONAL COMMUNAL SYSTEM is a MUST READ!
Gerald B. Bubis and Steven F. Windmueller
Read about the story behind the story: How did
the premier umbrella agency of American Jewry,
the UJC (United Jewish Communities), come into
existence? Gain new insights into the history of
Jewish governance and contemporary best practices
in creating models of collaboration.
This case-study represents according to one
reviewer a dispassionate retelling of the
progress of the national merger between the CJF, UJA, and UIA
This book provides a useful synopsis of best
practices for organizational mergers that perhaps
will be of value in the future of the organized Jewish community.
GUIDE YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY, a Memoir
Gerald B. Bubis with Gordon Cohn
Capture the insights and perspectives of one of
American Jewrys most thoughtful and creative
leaders as he reflects on his life and our times.
Jerry Bubis life mirrors the American Jewish
experience. In the pages of this highly personal
story, we are introduced to the fascinating
elements that comprise Bubis own life journey
and the significant and historic issues that
represent a portion of his contributions to
Jewish life and in turn touch our lives.
For Malcolm Gladwell in the Tipping Point, Bubis
might be the Connector; for Peter Drucker he
symbolizes the essence of a 20th century
knowledge worker; for Ron Haifetz, this is the
leader on the balcony, and, for Jim Collins of
From Good to Great, Bubis is the one leader that
asks who rather than what in defining our course of action.
GROWING JEWS: SELECTED WRITINGS
Gerald B. Bubis
This book reflects a selection of 50 articles
from among dozens written over the

are: Serving the Jewish Family, Synagogue
