		On other church-state fronts, unlike the virtually united front presented by the Jewish community in opposing proposals for a constitutional amendment, the community was split with respect to the issues of vouchers and "charitable choice".
		That law allows religious organizations to become state contractors for provision of block-granted, public-assistance programmes without, in the view of most Jewish groups, providing for the kind of safeguards necessary to ensure that direct-service providers are hired on a non-discriminatory basis, and that government funds are not used for sectarian purposes.
