DIRECTORIES AND LISTS EDITORIAL NOTE The directories of Jewish National Organizations and Jewish Periodicals in the United States and Canada, which have appeared regularly in this section, are omitted from the present volume. In their place is published the 1946-47 Directory of Jewish Federa- ations, Welfare Funds, Community Councils and Local Affiliated Agencies. Also omitted from this section is the list of Jews in American Public Service. This list and the directories of national organiza- tions and periodicals, which last appeared in Volume 47 (pages 557-632), will again be published, in revised form, in Volume 49. 1946-47 DIRECTORY OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS, WELFARE FUNDS, COMMUNITY COUNCILS AND LOCAL AFFILIATED AGENCIES Cotnpikd by COUNCIL OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS AND WELFARE FUNDS The present Directory is one of a series compiled annually by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. It includes 607 communities, 266 of which are part of metropolitan or regional organizations. This compares with 247 communities in the 1939 Directory and 305 in the 1943 Directory, and reflects the development of Jewish communal organization in America. The 607 communities comprise at least 95% of the Jewish population of the United States and about 90% of the Jewish population of Canada. Listed for each community is the local central agency— federation, welfare fund or community council—with its address and the names of the president and executive director. Listed also are the local community service agencies, most of them beneficiaries of, or affiliated with, the central com- munal organization, with their addresses and with the names of their executives. The titles federation, welfare fund and Jewish community council are not definitive and their structures and functions vary from city to city. What is called a federation in one city, for example, may have the title of a community council in another. In the main, these central agencies have responsibility for some or all of the following functions: a) raising funds for local, national and overseas services; b) allocation and distribution of funds for these purposes; 530 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK c) coordination and central planning of local services, such as family welfare, child care, health, recreation, community relations within the Jewish community and with the general community, Jewish education, and care of the aged, eliminating duplication and filling in gaps in service; d) in small and some intermediate cities direct adminis- tration of local social services. The following symbols are used: * — Member agency of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. § •— Receives support from Community Chest. 0 — Denotes that no information was received from the agency for the. 1946 Directory, and the information listed was taken from the most recent files of the CJFWF. In all other cases, the information listed was supplied directly by the community for this Directory. 1946-47 DIRECTORY OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS, WELFARE FUNDS, COMMUNITY COUNCILS AND LOCAL AFFILIATED AGENCIES ALABAMA ALABAMA CITY (see Gadsden, Ala.)
