GOLDMAN L. MARSHALL MOHEL 353-5444 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."

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.
