         convening it in Israel every four years (W.C.J.C.S.).

         This conference gathers from all parts of the world
         professionals in the areas of education and community:

         communities from East Europe and South America will be
         emphasized this year in addition to the usual presence
         of involved representatives and leadership of Communities
         from North America, Europe and Israel.

         During the Conference four days several activities like
         conferences, workshops and visits witll take place.

         The present period of changes in the Jewish community in
         particular and in the world gives a particular importance to
         the meeting of professionals from Israel and the world, for
         mutual listening and fertilization not only concerning the
         professional areas but as a mean of strenghtening relations
         within the Jewish Diaspora.

         Your participation at the Conference will contribute to the
         advancement of the Jewish professional community.

                                  Best regards,

         Global Jewish Networking in the
         World Conference of the Jewish Communal Service
         ==============================================

         A session dedicated to the Global Jewish Information Network
         has been included in the program of the  Conference.

         Current projects being carried in the framework of the
         network and relevant to community work will be presented.

         We expect to be able to furnish all interested participants
         with direct experiences of the potential of networking for
         community integration and professional development. Pointers
         will be given to all Jewish information available and to
         professional forums relevant to the participants needs.
         Information and materials necessary for getting a connection
         back when returning home will be distributed.

         Prof. Armand Lauffer, head of the Projec STAR at the
         University of Michigan School of Social Work has already
         volunteered his help and his students assistance for
         participants willing to get connected to the network after the
         conference.

         The program for Global Jewish Networking at the Conference is
         being established by a committee leaded by Prof. Daniel
         Elazar, chairman of the Steering Committee of the Global
         Jewish Information Network Project.

         You are invited to participate and to call the attention of
         participants coming from your community to this session.
         We expect the Conference and the networking session to become
         a landmark in the evolution of Global Jewish Networking.

         Best regards,
