COMBINED JEWISH PHILANTHROPIES OF GREATER BOSTON NATIONAL SURVEY OF GROUP SERVING PROGRAMS UNDER JEWISH AUSPICES IN LARGE CITIES (September 1968) By Bernard Reisman INTRODUCTION The focus of this report is to examine the experience of large cities wi>th regard to their patterns of Jewish group services in the community. There are 16 metropolitan communities in the United States and Canada which have a Jewish population over 50,000. Of these, the subsequent data deals with the experience of 14 of those communities. New York City is excluded because its unique situation makes it virtually impossible to compare to the other cities.* Washington, D. C is the other city not considered, since it has not built any new group serving facilities since World War II (Washington is currently involved in a major building program). The data provided primarily examine the effect new buildings have on the pattern of group services in a community. Section I offers descriptive data on the size of the community and its building program. In Section II the effects of the new building in terms of membership, attendance and finances 'is examined. Finally, Section III provides some supplemental data on each of the cities which suggests some of the developmental patterns that precede major building programs. Two other related areas have been explored: the issue of how far members will travel to a Jewish Community Center and the camping services ('residential and day) of the major cities. The former data are included in Addendum ttland Charts 7 and 8; the latter in Addendum #2 and #2A. During the period from 1954 - 1966 there were 12 new Jewish Community Center buildings opened in New York City. The cost of these buildings ranged from $542,000 to §1,885,000 with an average per building cost of $840,584.
