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.

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.
