| As an American non-Jew, there is something fairly ominous about an imperative of American Jews to become even more effectively organized than they already appear to be. How much more influence do Jews need in this country? Influence in what, exactly? With whom are they competing? Waxman attributes membership decline in Jewish organizations to a range of causes, among which are certain organizational problems and the younger generations` perceptions of Jewish leadership in the U.S. as "elitist, parochial, self-serving and resistant to innovation" as well as irrelivancy in contemporary times.
