NCRAC Backs Negro Leaders' Call
for Equality by Peaceful Means
NEW YORK (JTA) — The Na-
tional Community Relations Ad-
visory Council endorsed a state-
ment by a group of Negro leaders,
calling for reliance on peaceful
means to achieve the goal of full
equality for the Negro "in an in-
tegrated plural society."
An Orthodox rabbinical leader
later warned that the slogan "black
power" and the reported deteriora-
tion in Negro-Jewish relations
should not discourage rabbis from
encouraging support of civil rights
programs.
The NCRAC, representing nine
national Jewish organizations and
79 state and local Jewish commu-
nity relations councils, endorsed
the "Crisis and Commitment"
statement issued recently by the
Negro leaders.
The NCRAC statement asserted
that the rate of peaceful progress
toward the goal of full equality for
American Negroes "must be ac-
celerated dramatically to reverse
the dangerous drift toward polar-
ization, social disorganization and
violence."
The NCRAC said it agreed with
the Negro leaders that they could
not achieve these goals alone but
only through "a coalition of all
groups and individuals committed
to the attainment of equality, under
law and within the American polit-
ical system."
On that basis, the NCRAC pledg-
ed its member organizations to
"full cooperation" in building and
maintaining such a coalition.
The Or th odox spokesman,
Rabbi Emanual Rackman, assist-
ant to the president of Yeshiva
University, also said rabbis
should increase their involve-
ment in the war against poverty,
even to the extent of urging con-
gregants to "welcome the neces-
sary heavy taxes as a privilege
rather than a burden." Dr. Rack-
man spoke at the 23rd annual
Yeshiva University R a b b i n i c
Alumni Convention in Monsey,
N. Y.
He said that rabbis should rec-
ognize the advocates of "black
Ground Broken
for Feinstein Library
EILAT, Israel — Ground was
broken here last week for the
Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Pub-
lic Library, second of three major
educational and cultural facilities
planned for this Red Sea outpost
by the Israel
Education F u n d
of the United
Jewish Appeal.
Mrs. Feinstein,
who is establish-
ing the Eilat lib-
rary with a gift
in memory of
her late husband
through a foun-
dation which
bears both their
names, was hon-
ored by Mayor
Yosef Levy and
serenaded by
E i 1 a t's school-
children.
Receiving thek
Eilat Medallion Mrs. Feinstein
and copies of the cornerstone
scroll pre- )ared for the library, the
Philadelphia Jewish community
leader told an audience of several
hundred gathered for the ground-
breaking that she had "fallen in
love" with Eilat.
The library, she indicated, was
a living expression of that feeling,
and a fitting memorial to Myer
Feinstein, outstanding Philadelphia
philanthropist, a long-time member
of the UJA National Campaign
Cabinet.

by whom something may be got,
and those from whom something
may be learned. — Colton.
power" were referring to the "pow-
er of the vote, not violence." He
said that statements by such ad-
vocates that they wanted Negroes
to run their own movements should
not be "exaggerated" by Jews.
Such statements, he said, were
made "in the same voice as Zion-
ists in Israel, who have complained
that American Zionists are inter-
fering in their affairs."
Also at the convention, Rabbi
Herbert C. Dobrinsky, director of
rabbinic placement of YeshiVa Uni-
versity's Community Service Divi-
sion, warned that the shortage of
rabbis has reached crisis propor-
tions across the United States, es-
pecially in areas outside the metro-
politan centers.
Rabbi Dobrinsky said the "de-
mand for pulpit rabbis far exceeds
the availability of rabbis to fill
these posts, even though there has
been a small increase in their num-
ber in each of the past four years."
He said the increase has fallen
far short of the needs that have
arisen, as the Jewish community
flocks in much greater numbers
and frequency to synagogues.
