Synagogues are independent. They have their own agency. Obviously, we connect with them, and we connect with different rabbis from across the country.
We represent Jewish federations across the country, which are like the United Way in the Jewish community. The federations are connected to synagogues but are slightly separate from them.
Again, we are paid advocates for the community. Rabbis are different. They definitely are advocates for the community, as you well know.
I don't know the distinction you're looking for.
