Could it be that you harbor hopes that she will listen to you in a way that the current leadership team clearly decided not to?<br /><br />If so, I expect that you're going to be disappointed. The problem is that beyond the generalities, the substance of what you have consistently recommended for UJC is little more than a return to the "good old days" of UJA. In your version of history, everything was hunky-dory till Howard and Joe appeared on the scene. Would that it were so!<br /><br />I got a chuckle reading your appreciation of Jacob Berkman's imagined future for the federation system and UJC, primarily because you didn't seem to realize that what Jacob is advocating is almost exactly what Joe Kanfer has been urging for the system (Jacob himself gives credit to Joe at one point).<br /><br />I share your hope that the new team of Kathy and Jerry will be able to respond effectively to the many challenges facing UJC and the federation system. If they do, it will be by building on the admittedly painful process of the last several years in which the remnants of a system that was already on a downward spiral have been cleared away and space created for a new beginning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-44498933288315915252009-06-26T16:47:16.849-05:002009-06-26T16:47:16.849-05:00Good luck to Jerry...
