A spokesman for Young Israel,
one of the few Orthodox groups to
criticize the militant Jewish De-
fense League, declared during a
debate with a JDL leader that the
JDL program could lead to "sui-
cide" for the Jewish community.

nard Weinberger. a member of the
New York City Council Against
Poverty, and Bertram Z•eibon,

JDL attorney, was held during the
recent 57th annual convention of
the National Council of Young
Israel.
The JDL attorney said his or-
ganization "will raise its voice
whenever the rights of Jews are
attacked, whether or not these at-
tacks could be labeled anti-Semit-
ism per se" and that Jews should
reject the Christian doctrine of
"turn the other cheek." He told the
300 delegates that the JDL stands
ready to defend all Jews.
Rabbi Weinberger, who is also
spiritual leader of Young Israel of
Brooklyn, replied that the physical
survival of Jews must be the para-
mount concern and that in a time
of conflict and tension like the pres-
ent, "our role must be one of
moving out of the way. We must
disengage ourselves. By 'disengag-
ing,' I mean simply reducing the
visibility of the Jew."

Rabbi Weinberger told the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency, in an
amplification of the views he ex-
pressed at the debate, that he
had the highest regard for the
JDL as being well-intentioned
and well-motivated but that he
also felt the organization was
"misguided, unfortunately."
He warned the Young Israel dele-

gates against lumping black an)i-
Jewish feelings with white anti-
Semitism, calling the former a
much less sophisticated attitude
than the latter.
He said that blacks were simply
trying to lash out at "the white
power structure" they considered
responsible for their ills. Jews are
not a part of that structure, he as-
serted, and therefore are not to
blame. Jews "are not the heart of
the problem, the WASPs in power
are." Unfortunately. he declared,
the !Jew is often "a highly visible
buffer" between blacks and "the
establishment."
Dr. Bernard Hoenig, chairman of
Young Israel's public affairs com-
mittee, disclosed that, to satisfy
the demands of some Young Israel
members for greater militancy and
to create better rapport with the
police on such problems: his Com-
mittee had considered the idea of
urging Young Israel members to
join the city's program of auxiliary
police but that the idea had been
dropped. He urged working with the
JDL and at the same time that an
effort be made to seek to bring
about less militant activities by the
league from the inside.
A student at the Albert Einstein
College of Medicine sounded a dif-
ferent note in the discussion. Lewis
Saperstein, reporting that he had
worked in a ghetto hospital, urged
the delegates to understand and
to keep in mind the violence and
slum conditions to which blacks in
the cities are exposed.
