Bernstein Hits Views
of Ben-Gurion on
Future of U.S. Jewry
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Rabbi
Philip S.. Bernstein, chairman of
the American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee, took sharp issue
with Israel Premier David Ben-
Gurion in a statement rebutting
Ben-Gurion's assessment of the
vitality and future of American.
Judaism. He also disagreed with
the B-en-Gurion view that Ameri-
can Zionists were obligated to
settle in Israel. –
He made the statement at the
organization's annual conference
on American Near Eastern policy
here.
Bernstein maintained in his
statement that Ben-Gurion was
in .error about the status of
American Judaism because it
"has never been in a healthier
state than it is at the present
time.
"Synagogues have the largest
memberships, the religious
schools are overcrowded; there
is better adult education and
more cultural activity than in
the entire history of American
Jewry," he said. "The synagogue
has again become, after a period
of bumbling competition with
Jewish philanth welfare
centers,
