THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Temple Emanuel's Withdrawal Valiant German
Feted by Survivors Detroit's Israel Program on Sunday
Draws Fire From UAHC
(Continued from Page 1)
Bachrach said Dr. Eisendrath
had assumed the role of spokes-
man for the entire Reform move-
ment and stressed that such a posi-
tion was "unauthorized and impos-
sible." Louis Broido, board mem-
ber of Temple Emanu-El, said that
a "bare quorum" of the board's 21
members attended the April 25
meeting at which the withdrawal
decision was made. He said he and
other opponents of the withdrawal
action would bring the issue up at
the board's May 28 meeting and
that, if it was not reversed there,
they would seek to get a reversal
at a congregational meeting, which
may be called on petition of 25
Congregation members.
Dr. Eisendrath claimed that the
withdrawal reflected a widespread
tendency to use the Vietnam war
to "curtail free expression of opin-
ion." He also charged that "the
background for this continued dis-
pute between certain members of
the temple's board and the Union
has been a disagreement with the
Union's whole program of social
actions." He said that the "one
issue" of the Vietnam war "should
not be used as an excuse to alien-
ate the congregation of Temple
Emanu-El from, the Reform Jew-
ish movement and from the great
humanitarian, ethical and reli-
gious impulse that has bound us
in fellowship."
Bachrach replied that Dr. Eisen-
drath "favors dissent against every-
thing except his own views." He
added that the temple had with-
drawn "because we favor dissent.
Our point is that he wants it to
appear that he represents Reform
Judaism, and we do not agree that
this is his right."
Bachrach • cited Dr. Eisen-
drath's action in joining Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King and other reli-
gious leaders to form a new or-
ganization to seek an immediate
end to the bombing of North
Vietnam "without conditions."
He also referred to an Eisen-
drath speech in Washington last
December declaring that Jews
were becoming part of the white
backlash opposed to civil rights
legislation.
Fane.noted the 6 to 4 vote for
"a congregation of 3,200 families"
and said that the congregation was
using Rabbi Eisendrath's "outspo-
ken views as a pretext and scape-
goat to dissociate itself from the
Reform Jewish movement and the
enlightened views with which this
movement has ever been identi-
fied, in the spirit of Jewish pro-
phetic tradition."
He said that Dr. Eisendrath had
always made clear "that he speaks
for himself and his own conscience,
but does a large and important
Reform synagogue withdraw into
isolation every time a Jewish
leader says something with which
they disagree?"
The temple previously was out
of the UAHC from July 1964 to
July 1965 in a dispute over whe-
ther individual congregations
should have the right to elect
some of the UAIIC's 150 trustees.
Also, in 1961, Temple, Emanu-
El withdrew from the 'IWO in op-
position to the establishenent of
the Religious Action Center in
Washington.
Taking an opposing view to
Eisendrath's position on the
Vietnam war, Rabbi William F.
Rosenblum, rabbi eukeritus of
Temple Israel, New 'York, criti-
cized the "doves," however
"well-meaning and patriotic their
intent, be they in the ,Congress,
among the clergy, or among the
people in general."
Rabbi Rosenblum, who recently
returned from a special tour as a
chaplain in Vietnam said those
seeing peace in Vietnam by at-
tacking the Johnson administration
are helping prolong the war.
Although he deferfied the right
of Americans to dissent from ad-
ministration policies, Rabbi Rosen-
blum,said that "to describe our
presence in Vietnam as 'aggres-
sion' and portraying the Viet Cong
