Religious leaders to debate Jewish unity

NEW YORK — Can fragmented Judaism survive in the United States? Can we — Jews of different denominations — get along with each other? Can there ever be a “marriage” — and could such a marriage ever last? Such questions — ever in the forefront when Orthodox, Conservative and Reform are mentioned in the same breath — will be asked when the United Synagogue of America (USA) the lay body of the Conservative move-

ments, holds its biennial convention Nov. 17-21 at the Concord Resort Hotel, Lake Kiamesha, NY. For the first time, the USA will provide a platform for a leading representative of Orthodox Jewry and the Reform Movement to join with a leader of Conservative Judaism for a discussion about their survival together as Jews in the United States. Franklin D. Kreutzer, of Miami, Fla., who is convention chairman, is negotiating

with leading figures in each of the three movements to participate in the discussion. It is expected that a recognized leader in American Jewry will be invited to serve as moderator for what promises to be a highly charged session. Focusing on the importance of the issue is the fact that the debate will climax the convention program, the theme of which is “The Conservative Jew In A Secular Society.”

Israel to integrate government computers The Israeli government’s 1,000 or so computers will soon be linked into one big family and programmed to “talk” to each other, according to an article in the Jerusalem Post. Much of the work done in the various ministries overlaps and, according to computer experts, the plan could save millions of shekels. The proposal involves integrating all of the data bases maintained by the ministries into a single network. Israel spent about $41 million last year on computer-related information processing. Prisoner of Conscience reunited with family Soviet Prisoner of Conscience Yitzhak Shkolnik, who had not seen his wife and daughter for 13 years, was reunited with them at Ben-Gurion airport recently. Shkolnik said he was given sudden permission to leave Russia, and made his way to Israel through Vienna, according to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report. He was first charged with spying for Britain in 1972, then spying for the United States and then for Israel, for which he received a seven-year prison sentence. South Africa in the Hebrew press In an interview in Ha’aretz (Aug. 9) Dr. Naomi Kazan, Professor of African Studies at Hebrew University, who recently from the Nairobi conference on the decade of women where she declared that Israel was unalterably opposed to apartheid, expressed her feelings about Israeli-South African relations: “If Israel has an interest in the future of South African Jewry, she must understand the changes that are occurring there and act accordingly. Identification with the Black struggle can help the Jewish community there The Jewish establishment itself has come out openly against the regime...Israel is lagging behind the Jewish community, which is trying to save itself, and which is giving serious thought to what will happen to the Jewish community after the abolition of the apartheid regime...We must ask ourselves, now more than ever before, why we are fostering ties that are so opposed to the ideals and wishes of many states in the world, and especially in the Third World?"

ADL to sue Wiesenthal Center

Continued from page l of B’nai B’rith. He attended Yeshiva Etz Chaim, formerly in Borough Park of Brooklyn, and lives in Great Neck. On another subject, Reich revealed that the ADL had met with officials and producers of ABC television in protest against the handling of its recent program “20/20,” in which anti-Semitic farmers were permitted to express hatred of Jews without mak-

ing possible a response. He said that ABC refused to screen a segment of “20/20” in which the anti-Semites could be answered. Reich said that poisonous venom against Jews was spread into millions of homes, while only Jews were singled out for attack on the program, when it is well-known that those spreading the lies about Jews were opposed also to blacks and to Catholics.
