Abstract
By describing an ethical dilemma that is encountered frequently by federation professionals - requests by an infiuential lay leader to circumvent the waiting list for a federation facility - this article demonstrates different ways of thinking about ethics, thereby providing professionals with conceptual tools for analysis. This case illustration serves as a model for the resolution of ethical dilemmas faced by professionals working in any Jewish communal agency; that resolution requires deliberation, a willingness to weigh the many variables and values in conflict, and a tolerance for ambiguity.
