Rabbis of 3 Branches Want U.S. to Try
for Stalemate, Then Peace in Vietnam
NEW YORK (JTA) — A consen
sus for a military stalemate in
Vietnam allowing intensive effor t
for peace emerged here Tuesday
as rabbis and lay leaders of the
three religious movements in Amer-
ican Judaism — Orthodox, Con-
servative and Reform — held an
all-day study conference on Juda-
ism and world peace.
The conference, held at Colum-
bia University under the auspices
of the Synagogue Council of Amer-
ica, the national coordinating agen-
cy for the rabbinic and congrega-
tional organizations of the three
religious groups, was called to air
the issue and not to offer or adopt
any resolutions on it.
Dr. Irving Greenberg, an Or-
thodox rabbi and associate pro-
fessor of history at Yeshiva Uni-
versity, called on religious groups
to campaign to prevent "politi-
cal reprisal if the administration
explores the possibilities" of rec-
ognizing the Viet Cong or "a
neutralist or Titoist solution."
Pointing to the right under Jew-
ish law to "conscientious objec-
tion to a sp ec if ic war," Dr.
Greenberg added: "Religious
groups should evaluate and chal-
lenge the adequacy of the ad-
ministration's efforts."
Dr. Seymour Siegel, a Conserva-
tive raddi and associate professor
of theology at the Jewish Theo-
group, called on the United States
to "desist" in Vietnam, declaring
that when Washington talks of
"our commitments to the govern-
ment of South Vietnam," it means
"our own propped up puppet of
Saigon." He added that: "The ma-
jority of the population of South
Vietnam support the National Lib-
eration Front and almost all the
territory of the South is willingly
under "Viet Cong's control."
Meanwhile, the Rabbinical Alli-
ance of America, a group of
American-born Orthodox rabbis
which is not affiliated with the
Synagogue Council of America,
sent a letter to President John-
son_today expressing its "deep-
est confidence" in the President
and the administration's policy
on Vietnam.
"The Rabbinical Alliance de-
plores the rash of critical state-
ments being issued against the
government in the name of religion
and morality" the letter states.
"These declarations are detrimen-
tal to the security of these blessed
United States, and are inimical to
the best interest of our beloved
country.
"The Rabbinical Alliance wishes
to make clear to the President and
to his administration that these
few religious leaders and educators
do not speak for the vast majority
of Americans. They most surely
do not represent the majority opin-
ion of the Jewish community in
America. We stand firmly behind
our beloved President and we offer
our prayers for the success of our
government policy in Vietnam and
all over the world."
logical Seminary of America,
called for "holding the conflict
within controllable bounds and ac-
tively a n d sacrificially seeking
means to terminate the conflict"—
a position, he said, which is similar
in essence to that taken recently
by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
