Klutznick Views
Unity, Zionism
In his challenging book, "No
Easy Answers," to be published
next week by Farrar, Straus &
Cudahy, Philip M. Klutznick,
former president of Bnai Brith,
now a member of the U. S.
Mission to the United Nations,
discusses many issues, -among
them so-called "Jewish unity,"
Zionism and other subjects.
Defining unity as "not a goal
(but) a state of affairs . . . and
that its "really valid product
is cooperation," Klutznick notes
the growth of "community co-
operation" in fund raising, the
Jewish center movement, reli-
gious education and the Prei.-
dents' Conference as demonstra-
tions of voluntary unity indige-
nous to American life.
On the running fight between
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion and
the American Zionist move-
ment, Klutznick (who says that
he left the Zionist movement
"about 30 years ago") describes
the Prime Minister's attitude as
"irascibly logical."
Klutznick challenges Prime
Minis t e r Ben-Gurion's re-
peated assertions that only in
Israel can a- Jew maintain
fully his Jewish identity.
Ben-Gurion's sentiment is not
an eccentric one, but is shared
by most Israelis, particularly
the sabras, Klutznick declares.
"The Zionists have yet to de-
vise a convincing rebuttal that
is based on a difference in basi
principle (w i t h non-Zionists
rather than being like a therm
stat turned to a higher degre
of warmth for Israel," he says.
It also "seems imprudent" to
regard the machinery of the
Zionist movement as having out-
lived any future purpose," says
Klutznick.
"I find Ben-Gurion's prem-
ise . • • a curious adaptation
in reverse of the dual loyalty
shibboleth. No human being
lives by a single loyalty; not in
Israel, not in America. It is in
the complex of his multiple
loyalties that the life of a free
Jew is complemented and made
complete."
Among other sensitive issues
explored by Klutznick are Jew-
i s h education; anti-Semitism
and Jewish posture in civil
rights matters, including the
race dilemma of Southern
Jews; and the needs of Jewish
leadership.

In America "wherever the
level of Jewish education is low-
est, there enrollment is highest."
One of the paradoxes in Jew-
ish communal life — "with re-
gard to education every effort is
made to get the least for the
money"—was pointed out by Dr
Judah Shapiro at the annu
meeting of the United Hebr ,
Schools Tuesday.
Discussing "The End of
ev
ish Education in America,"
piro, secretary of the Natio
Foundation for Jewish Cultui
said that unless paradoxes such
as these are "erased and re-
solved, there will be an end to
Jewish education."
Two goals must be kept in
mind if Jewish education is to
have a future, Shapiro said.
"First, we must not give the
child the answers, but convey
to him that his lifetime will be
the traditional search for the
answers to the eternal ques-
tions. Second, Jewish education
must be restored to the par-
ents."
He was confident that "the
