'Christians May Yet Save Judaism
by Forcing 'Return to Bookshelf,'
Says Rabbi Brickner at Assembly
The days of "interfaith tea par-
ties" are over and "henceforth
anyone entering the area of inter-
faith dialogue will have to show
more than good will. We're going
to have to know something about
what Judaism means."
The speaker, Rabbi Balfour
Brickner, director of the commis-
sion of interfaith activities of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, made the statement at
the midwinter delegate assembly
of the Jewish Community Council
Jan. 5 at the • Jewish Center.
In his talk on "Ecumenism-
Dialogue - Anti - Semitism," Rabbi
Brickner took the Jewish commu-
nity to task for its "withdrawal
from the larger community. We
have a historic fear, plus the fear
of conversion, of erosion of Juda-
ism." Nevertheless, he said, "the
spirit of ecumenism reaches out
to us."
He cited as an example of the
latter "the effort by Christian
scholars to seek out Jewish roots
of Christianity," recognizing "the
continued election of the Jewish
people to remain an eternal peo-
ple.
"This is the thrust of Vatican
II," he stressed, "not the word-
" On this issue,
he added, "our professional in-
volvement nearly clobbered the
whole thing for us." (Rabbi
Brickner was referring to state-
ments made by national Jewish
agencies as to what properly
should be included in the Vati-
can declaration on the Jews.)
The speaker also pointed to "an
enormous curiosity about the Jew
and Judaism" and the emphasis on
differences between religions, not
assimilation.
"I've met Jews afraid to expose
themselves before Christians for
fear of exposing their own ignor-
ance," he said. "We don't know
how to answer. We let the rabbis
do our interfaith work, but Chris-
tian laymen don't want to meet
rabbis, they want to meet their
peers."
"It might yet drive the Jew back
to the bookshelves when confront-
ed with questions by Christian
libertarians," he said. "Chrisianity
might yet save Judaism for the
Jews."
In the area of social action,
Rabbi Brickner said "we need
one another as never before to
solve our problems. We've
grown up — past 'What's good
for Jews' to 'What's good for
the community.' I no longer be-
lieve that the Jew can survive
in this society by remaining
aloof from the larger society."
At the assembly, radio station
WJBK was honored for its con-
tinued cooperation with the council
in presenting programs of Jewish
interest. (See photograph).
Walter E. Klein, executive di-
rector of the council, said a list
of 1,500 equal-opportunity sup-
pliers and employers has been
compiled for Project Equality. Or-
ganizations may obtain copies of
the list.
Klein also said that future War-
saw Ghetto Uprising observances,
traditionally held before Passover,
will emphasize participation by
young people in the community.
The council will support leg-
islation keeping Eastern Stand-
ard Time, to eliminate difficulties
in scheduling of community events.
