Rabbis to Mount Action
on War in Congregations
WASHINGTON (JTA) — In-
creased action by Jewish congrega-
tions, in cooperation with other
faiths, to question the wisdom and
justice of the war in Vietnam was
indicated last week by many Jew-
ish participants of the national
emergency meeting held here by
clergy and laymen concerned about
Vietnam.
A co-chairman, Rabbi Abraham
Joshua Heschel, professor at the
Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, took a prominent role
in the meeting. Rabbi Jacob J.
Weinstein, president of the Cen-
tral Conference of American Rab-
bis, addressed the meeting with
an appeal for application of reli-
gious values to challenge the
American military role in Vietnam.
As a result of the meeting, many
rabbis said they would seek a
wider discussion of Vietnam in
temples and synagogues through-
out the nation, with broader par-
ticipation through social action
committees and public forums.
Police here arrested Josef Allot-
Mroz, of Salem, Mass., who dis-
played an anti-Semitic sign when
he chained himself to the White
House in protest against the rab-
bis and other clergymen seeking,
peace. He carried a sign declar-
ing "Communism is Jewish."
Police released him upon pay-
ment of collateral on a charge of
disorderly conduct. (See Milton
Friedman article on .Page - 1.)

NEW YORK (JTA)—Rabbis who
oppose interreligious dialogues be-
tween Jews and Christians came
under sharp criticism from two
rabbis — one Conservative and one
Reform.
The issue arose when Rabbi Zev
Segal of Newark, a vice president
of the Orthodox Rabbinical Council
of America, told a midwinter con-
ference of the organization that
such dialogues could be dangerous
to the faith of Jews taking part in
them.
Another critic of such conversa-
tions, Rabbi Howard Singer, of
Laurelton, N.Y., a Conservative
rabbi, declaring that such dialogues
were reaching "epidemic" propor-
tions, called the discussions "in-
effectual" as well as "dangerous
and insulting to Jews."
Both Rabbi Segal and Rabbi
Singer said they did not oppose
discussions between Christians
and Jews on "non-religious topics"
such as poverty programs or ju-
venile delinquency. Rabbi Singer
expressed his views in an article
in the Saturday Evening Post.
The Reform critic of that stand
was Rabbi Balfour Brickner, direc-
tor of interfaith activities of—the
Union of American Hebrew Congre-
gations. Calling such a stand
"naive," Rabbi Brickner said that
more than a dozen such dialogues
were currently being conducted by
his department, and that "we have
found a great eagerness among
Christians to learn about Judaism
and a growing willingness to ac-
cept Jewish viewpoints" once they
are understood. (Rabbi Brickner
took this stand at a Jewish Com-
munity Council Delegate Assembly
in Detroit last month.)
The Conservative critic was
Rabbi Seymour Siegel, associate
professor of theology at the Jewish
Theological Seminary, who assert-
ed that "if rabbis and Jewish schol-
ars were to approach interfaith
discussions in the same self-defeat-
ing spirit as Rabbi Singer, then
dialogue would indeed be a 'farce,'
with little expectation of success."
He said it was "ludicrous" for
religious leaders "to meet for pur-
poses of discussing all subjects ex-
cept the one in which they are
most expert—religion."

Two Adars Mark
Jewish Leap Year
Rosh Hodesh Adar Rishon —
the new month of Adar I — begins
today and Saturday — marking
one of the seven times during a
19-year cycle that there is a Jew-
ish Leap Year.
Adar Sheni — Adar II — is the
a didtion al month that follows.
During Adar Sheni, the holiday of
Purim occurs. Thus all the festi-
vals of 5727 occur later than usual.
The Jewish calendar is both
solar and lunar, based upon the
movement of the earth around
the sun (solar) and the revolu-
tions of the moon around the
earth (lunar).
As the moon takes 291/2 days
to travel around the earth, the
Jewish year has 12 months of 29
or 30 days each, 354 days in all.
To bring the calendar in line with
the solar year, a leap month is
added seven times during every
19-year cycle.
In ancient Palestine, there was
no fixed calendar. Each month
