Quebec Premier Reassures Jews in Talk
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

U.S. Rabbis Form
`Spiritual' Arm
of the UJA
The more than 100 Reform, Con-
servative and Orthodox Rabbis
from 50 cities who participated in
the United Jewish Appeal's Rab-
binic Study Mission to Israel Feb.
11-18, have agreed to join together
into "a spiritual arm" of the UJA.
In the group were three Detroit
rabbis, James Gordon, Richard
Hertz and Irwin Groner.
The action was taken at a dinner
on the eve of the group's return to
the United States by a resolution
passed unanimously. The resolution
also urged other rabbis to join such
an organization. It is believed to be
the first time the three branches
of American Judaism have so
banded together.
The study mission was held 35
part of the UJA's series of week-
long, fact-finding flights for Ameri-
can Jewish leaders. The rabbis
made an intensive study of the con-
ditions and problems faced by the
people of Israel. -
Among the specific areas they
visited were the Sinai Desert, the
beleaguered kibutzim in the Bet
Shean Valley and Jerusalem. They
were briefed by the prime minister
and other representatives of the
Israeli government on social wel-
fare needs, in view of the current
situation. In addition, they met
with representatives of the Jewish
Agency and JDC-Malben in order
to study the various problems of
the people, including the problem
of immigrant absorption.

French speaking Jews who live in
Quebec, and I wish that the Jew-
ish community here and the Cana-
dian Jews as a whole con ue
their interest in French language
and culture."
His remarks came against a
background of increasing friction
between the Quebec Jewish com-
munity and French separatists as
a result of separatist chauvinism.
"The Jews," he said, "will not
blame the French Canadians for
being loyal to themselves because
Jews know what it means to be a
minority. Jews and other ethnic
groups may often ask themselves
whether they run the risk of be-
coming a second-class citizen
caught in the dual, nature of Can-
ada (Anglo-Saxon and French.)
Quebec is for Quebecers, and there
will never be second-class citizens
in Quebec," he said, referring to
its Jewish community.
(Currently, Hebrew is among
the nine languages spoken at the
new office of the Quebec Immigra-
tion Service opened here to assist
newly arrived immigrants who
have communications difficulties
because of a language barrier.)
Addressing specially invited
participants in Christian-Jewish
dialogue at Loyola College, a
Roman Catholic institution, Dr.
Victor Goldboom,
a Liberal
member of Quebec's provincial
parliament, said Monday "Jews'
-
loyalty to Israel does not weaken
their loyalty to Canada. The
situation is somewhat similar to
a Canadian Catholic and his re-
lationship to the Vatican."
He said that there was no in-
compatability between the two
loyalties in each group. "Christians
and Jews are less isolated now
than ever before," he said, "as
they are seeking to become united
in a common purpose."
The director of the influential
French language daily newspaper
Le Devoir, Claude Ryan, dismiss-
ed what he said were misconcep-
tions of Jews held by French-
speaking Canadians as "spurious
stereotypes:"
He said that such claims as the
one that Jews have a controlling
influence in local and international
finance could easily be discount-
ed. "There are not that many
Jews on the boards of big corpora-
tions," he said.
The dialogue was sponsored by
Loyola, the United Church (Pro-
testant) and Anti-Defamation Lea-
gue of Bnai Brith.
