Summary

"This book focuses on the Hesed centers, a network of community multi-functional welfare service centers established in Jewish communities in the former Soviet Union subsequent to Perestroika and the socio-economic crisis that followed. It is a useful tool for students of community development, leaders and staff of international non-governmental organizations, and members of the human service profession."--BOOK JACKET.
