To Interdate Or Not?

Editors Take Up Question Of Mixed Marriages

Three editors of two Jewish weekly papers discussed the question of mixed marriages this week. One blamed humanism, asserting that “Now a handful of such humanists seem to be exerting greater influences upon their confreres (Reform rabbis) than do the traditions they have been taught.” The view was from the pen of Philip Slomovitz, of The Detroit Jewish News.

THE SECOND EDITOR to discuss the issue was Geoffrey Fisher, whose title is managing editor of the San Francisco Jewish Bulletin. He wrote: “When the Central Conference of American Rabbis concludes that the issue of mixed marriages threatens the unity of the Reform movement there is deep cause for concern. But the threat to the Reform movement caused by mixed marriages is insignificant

God Not On Vocation At Brooklyn Temple

Editor, POST and OPINION: Anent your editorial of June 30 “God on Vacation,” we at Beth Shalom Peoples Temple (Reform) think we have found a partial answer to attract our worshippers to Sabbath Services during the summer months. Indeed, attendance equals and sometime is greater than in the winter. Of a membership of 250 families attendance at summer services ranges from 125 to 150. The answer is interesting, diversified programming in addition to the regular Sabbath services. Immediately after the service follows a 45 minute program. While most of the programs are of Jewish content not all need be. For example, this si mmer our Rabbi will speak two or three times. A lay memfcer couple will present “Jewish Humor, it’s history-then-now-tomorrow.” An invited outside speaker will give a talk on the •‘Chavurah.” A priest will discuss “Current trends in Christian religious education.” At the end of the talks congregants participate to a discussion of

the topic presented. The On eg Shabbat follows. Some may say this is “gimmicry.” Perhaps so, but the fact is that attendance has more than doubled since programming was initiated. Congregants are acquiring the habit of attending Sabbath services. Who is to say that they are not at the same time learning and absorbing Judaism? The biblical sages preached in the market place because that was where the people were. That too was “gimmicry.” Like it or not, in this era of T.V. and diversion made easily accessible by everyone driving a car going to synagogue must be made enjoyable, interesting as well as a religious experience. And yes, we adjourn to the air-condi-tioned hall whereas the sanctuary is hot and uncomfortable. What is wrong with that? Is prayer more sincere when the worshipper is bathed in sweat. FRANK PFEFFER 2630 Cropsey Ave. iu'QO&iyu, N.Y.

compared with the threat such marriages hold for Judaism itself.” MR. SLOMOVITZ concluded that: “We are not worried about losses to Jewry from mixed marriages. After all, throughout history it has been the shearit Israel — the remnant of Israel — that assured survival. But there is concern about the dignity inherent in rabbinism. If rabbis persist in approving practices that so definitely lead to disintegration in our ranks, how much confidence and respect could possibly be engendered for those ordained to be spiritual leaders?” The third editor, Milton Firestone, of the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle also said: “FRANKLY, WE ARE disappointed at the delay in acting on this significant matter, which touches upon the entire future of Judaism. We fear that the shock of finding a much larger than expected number of participating rabbis has influenced the CCAR to postpone a decision, in order to cut down on the number of potential defections from its ranks. “There are enough other challenges to Judaism from outside, in our society and in our world of today, without this type of deadly boring from within. We hope that early courageous action may be forthcoming to enable this breach in Judaism to be shorn up.”

73 YEARS LATER ATLANTA, Ga. (P-O) - After 73 years, The Temple here will reintroduce bar and bas nutzv a h beginning with the academic year 1972-1973. The largest Reform congregation in Atlanta boasting 1,300 families., The Temple eliminated bar j&itzvah to 1099.

By JAN GOLDBERG It’s a shame that with all this informative stuff being

written about the evils commonly ass 0 c i ated with int e r dating and interm a r riage, you still, when it comes t o

the royal nitty gritty, have to make up your own mind. Having personally arrived at a variety of the possible conclusions regarding interdating, and having followed through each in turn as conscience dictated, here is a practical post-script regarding the problems you may have, not in making up your mind, but in carrying through with your decision once your mind is made up. POSSIBLE decision number one: Because I believe that interdating inevitably leads to intermarriage, and because I believe that an intermarriage is detrimental ^ mm *** m

to a secure family life and harmful to the well-being of the children of such a marriage, I believe that I should not engage in dating any person of any religion other than

that of my own.

In some respects this is the easiest decision to carry out. You have made a major decision as to what you want out of life. Now it is a matter of finding the right life’s partner to help you raise the

family you desire.

DEPENDING ON where you live, this decision will be thought very natural, or very strange. But anyone who actually carries out their beliefs is generally respected. Therefore, if you are asked out by an “inter” there will probably be less hurt feelings if you thank him-her, explain that you value their friendship, but that you can not

date non-Jews.

Such a forthright answer is generally preferable to feigning “other plans” for that night, for eventually the truth will out, and feelings

would likely be hurt. (More next week.)

Dissidents Form New Temple GLENCOE, m. — The long fight over the successor to Rabbi Edgar Siskin of North Shore Temple Israel, often called the richest Reform congregation in the world, has ended in a rift with Rabbi Harold Kudan and a group of dissidents forming their own congregation — Am Sholom. The board passed over Rabbi Kudan, he has been assisting Rabbi Siskin for the past ten years, and selected Rabbi Herbert Bronstein, Temple B’rith Kodesh, Rochester, N.Y. as the new spiritual leader.
