interested in Israeli survival and
the preservation of democracy
in the United States. He saw the
Democratic Party committed to
these aims. While he thought the
extent of U.S. involvement in
Vietnam was a mistake, "the
danger of Communism is even
more obvious after the war last
year in the Middle East."
Younger Jews said it looked to
them as if Israel were able to
take care of herself. There were
more urgent problems. After Viet-
nam, there were "exploitation, po-
lice brutality, Fascism and racism
in our cities." Nixon and Humph-
rey were ridiculed. President John-
son drew scathing denunciation:
The old politics had to go. But it
was not so clear what was to re-
place it.
A self-described liberal asked:
"How can I be a consistent civil
libertarian when I am convinced
that Stokely Carmichael is as dan-
gerous as Sirhan Sirhan? I don't
know what laws apply. An agitator
like Carmichael is far more dan-
gerous than the Klu Kluxers and
American Nazis. He must be put
away."
Jews of the "New Left" were
asked to comment on Carmichael.
Their replies ranged from disin-
terest to a feeling that he was
only trying to be dramatic. They
made plain that one must accept
Black Power fanaticism as "a
phase of black emancipation just
like Jewish emancipation years
ago in Israel. There was a lot of
rhetoric and violence from Jewish
nationalists. Can't you accept a
black man or an Arab as being
as human as a Jew?"

the Sabbath on whose morning the
first portion of Genesis is read in
the synagogue. This is the portion
1 that describes the creation of the
world. That particular Sabbath is
often referred to as "Shabbos
Bereshith" or "The Sabbath of
Creation." Thus the 104th Psalm
is a fitting Psalm to read on the
afternoon of that particular Sab-
