But the issue is not "inclusivity" as she concludes. It is the process by which JFNA used to develop its decision on how to vote.<br /><br />Some Federations might agree that the issue is inclusivity. Others most definitely will not. They will side with those who feel there are some organizations that are outside of our pale of community and are detrimental, even destructive, to what our Jewish federation movement is trying to achieve. That is an honest debate. But just because the Milwaukee Jewish Federation had decided that goal #1 is "to be a warm, welcoming, and inclusive Jewish community" does not make that goal #1 for JFNA or for every Jewish community, or more precisely the definition of inclusivity used in Milwaukee might not be acceptable to every Jewish Federation in the JFNA system.<br /><br />The issue would be inclusivity had JFNA articulated a clear vision of its decision making process on this issue. Then we could have discussed whether or not it was appropriate for JFNA to cast a vote in the affirmative or the negative for J-Street's CoP membership. <br /><br />It's great that the Milwaukee Jewish Federation is hosting a wide array of views, including JPost's Glick. <br /><br />What is needed is an respectful dialogue at the national level, better engagement, and respect for all views into making a decision....whether or not Rosenthal and the Milwaukee Jewish Federation agrees with that decision.
