That hires CEO's that express the idea that vision is over rated. Where constructive criticism is punished. Where jobs are posted by our national agency with the implicit message "no federation pro's need apply". Where top laity openly revel in their intellectual mediocrity. Where mentoring begins with "keep your head low and don't make waves". Where passion is suspect and true loyalty to the federation concept JAFI or JDC is for friers and dinosaurs. We are wandering in the desert without manna, bereft of institutional torah and without a Miriam , a Moses, an Aaron or a Joshua. But do not fear-Mad Men is back on TV and marketing will save the day. Right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
