Steps for Survival Outlined by Council Institute Speaker

A warning that unless correc-
tive measures were taken in a
number of Jewish communal en-
deavors there would remain no
American Jewish community
was made Sunday by Dr. Eli
Ginzberg.
Addressing the' afternoon ses-
sion of the Jewish Community
Council's Institute at the Labor
Zionist Building, the Columbia
University professor charged
that the American Jewish com-
munity is "over-organized and
under-disciplined."
At the morning session, presi-
dents of organizations in the
community met in four simul-
taneous panels to decide wheth-
er the Council, as it presently
exists, is meeting their needs
and what services may yet be
formed.
Dr. Ginzberg's frank address .
pointedly told the 120 dele-
gates that unless we train an
entire generation of leaders
for tomorrow, there will be
no Judaism remaining in the
United States.
"We must encourage a talent
for Jewish leadership among our
high school kids, both in secular

Mizrachi Women's Board
to Set Luncheon Plans

Final arrangements for the
Minnie R o s en t h a l Memorial
Fund luncheon will be made at
12:30 p.m., Monday, when board
members of the Sisters of Zion.
Mizrachi meet at the home of
Mrs. Leah Feldman, 4014 Stur7
tevant.
Proceeds of the luncheon,
slated for March 6 at the Young
Israel Center, will go toward a
room in the late Minnie Rosen-
thal's memory at the Mizrachi
Women's Children's Village in
Ranaan:a, Israel. Mrs. Rosen-
thal was chairman of Mizrachi's
Child Restoration Fund.
Donations for the fund are
being accepted by its present
co-chairmen, Mesdames Joseph
Kunin and Milton Wiston. -Mrs.
M. Servetter is in charge of the
afternoon's program. Mrs. Mor-
ris Goldberg is president of the
chapter.

and religious leadership," he
said. "There is no reason why
a community like Detroit can
not make an investment in 20
young people each year for the
furtherance of their Jewish edu-
cation."
He called for intensive train-
ing of youth for positions of
leadership in the rabbinate, so-
cial service, education, commu-
nal agencies and even as lay
people as a "major step in, re-
taining Jewish values."
Other conclusions that Dr.
Ginzberg drew about the status
of the American Jewish corn-
munity, for which he said solu-
tions must be found, were:
1. The need to develop exist-
ing institutions by giving them
strength and support and not by
creating new ones. (He said he
was opposed to the creation of a
"liberal arts college," just as he
is against the creation of the
Albert Einstein College of Medi-
cine, as Jewish institutions).
(2) Ways must be found to
reduce, not multiply, our organ-
izations.
3. Provide a full measure • of
sustenance for Israel. He said
that U. S. Jewry had provided
money, but very little else for
the Jewish state and empha-
sized that "if the chips were
down, I question whether U. S.
Jewry would completely support
Israel." (1-le compared this state-
ment to the onus placed on Brit-
ish Jewry in 1948 when several
British soldiers in Palestine
were hanged by the Jews).
4. "We must lead more Jew-
ish lives, as individuals, not

alone as organizations." Stat-
ing that Judaism is a "religion
of tasks," Dr. Ginzberg said
that we must "derive more
sustenance from the past. We
have a tradition of 4,000 years
of culture, yet we fail to sup-
port our theological seminaries
and won't publish a scholar's
book."
Dr. Ginzberg said he was "du-
bious" about our community re-
lations work and its progress
"to show that the Jew does not
have horns."
He said bluntly, "I am in fa-
vor of putting trouble makers
in jail. Our Government has a
legal responsibility to every citi-
zen, and our rights should be
protected. I don't care if the
Gentiles love me or not," he
said, "It's not important to be
liked."
Following Dr. Ginzberg's ad-
dress, recorders for each of the
panels presented the major find-
ings of each group. All con-
curred that the Council was do-
ing a satisfactory job, but that
more organizational participa-
tion was necessary.
The panels also felt that there

should be more emphasis on
Yiddish and Hebrew studies and
programs. There was some criti-
cism of the quality of recent
television programs spOnsored
by the Council, and it was de-
cided to work at correcting some
of the problems.
Rabbi Morris Adler, a Counca
vice-president, presided over the
Institute and introduced Dr.
Ginzberg. Morris Schaver ex
tended greetings for the host
labor Zionist group.
