Thank you for your time! I am a graduate student at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion and the University of Southern California pursuing Master’s degrees in Jewish Nonprofit Management and Public Administration.

As a Jewish communal professional I am interested in your opinions on this subject and would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out this survey.
