Researching Jewish Life at Hebrew U.

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

LONDON — The lack of reliable
information about Jewish life to-
day was stressed here Tuesday
night by Philip M. Klutznick at the
inaugural meeting of the interna-
tional committee for the Institute
of Contemporary Jewry.
The committee was organized to
stimulate the institute's scientific
studies of Jewish life throughout
the world at the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem.
Klutznick, former U.S. ambassa-
dor to the United Nations Social
and Economic Council, said that
while world Jewry was "still beset
by many troubles, we have some
breathing space which enables us
to take a more profound look at
Jewish life." Such a look, he add-
ed, indicated that "our knowledge
of Jewish life is rather incomplete
and as a result of this gap some
of our actions are misdirected and
we are often flying blind."
