Acknowledgment for contribution to book: In any study conducted over a long period of time and covering diverse areas, such as this one represents, the assistance of colleagues and friends is not only helpful but essential. This I have had the good fortune of receiving. Selma Hirsh, associate director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC),stands out in this role above all others. She initiated and produced the John Slawson Fund for Research, Training and Education, which made possiblenot only this study but also a number of useful projects both here and inIsrael. ...My interviewees supplied the basic data of the study, and to them I con­vey my thanks for their time, their interest, and their effort. Dr. Marc Vosk, a former colleague of many years' standing, worked dili­gently in a collaborative role during the last phases of the study. His role is indicated on the title page.
Martha S. Cherkis faithfully and diligently carried out the
tasks of a re­search assistant. Her services were invaluable.
My gratitude is conveyed for the helpfulness given me by many AJC staffmembers,
especially Morris Fine, Harry Fleischman, the late Judith Her­man, Sonya Kaufer, Irma and Milton Krents, Irving Levine, Sam Rabinove,Rabbi A. James Rubin, and Dr. Neil Sandberg. I trust I will be forgiven if,inadvertently, I omitted names that should be on this list. In addition, I wish to express my gratitude to Oscar Cohen, ProfessorsLucy S. Dawidowicz, Sigmund Diamond, Herbert H. Hyman, and JackRothman for their advice. Outstanding, of course, in
helpfulness and support in every way was mydear wife, Ada Schupper Slawson, to
whom this book is happily dedicated.

ON A NEW DIRECTION FOR AMERICAN JEWS

When I finished reading Mr. Friedman's analysis and nodding in agreement with so much that he had to say, I asked myself: is it possible that today's Jewish leadership is suffering from a failure of nerve, or a failure of talent, or both?
