Dr. Harold Weisberg of Brandeis
University said he viewed with mis-
trust the concept of "Jewish iden-

and said nationalism was not
enough and spiritual values could
not be tossed aside.
Rabbi Arthur Green, leader of
the Chavurath Shalom community
in Cambridge, Mass., denounced in
earlier session, the Jewish religious
"establishment" in the U.S. and
said rabbis were not spiritual lead-
ers. He said American Jewish
youth sought new content for their
lives which the present Jewish re-
ligious leadership was unable to
provide. He also said that Israel
must demonstrate to hoped-for im-
migrants that life in Israel can
open the way for all Jews to per-
sonal fulfilment and spiritual en-
richment.

Earlier Prof. Walter Kaufmann

persecuted for being Jewish but
that when he came to the United

him, he lost his religious fath.
He said, in criticizing Israelis
who firmly believe there is wide-
spread anti-Semitism in the United
States, that if there was, the Amer-
ican Jewish Congress would not be
worried about future Jewish iden-

that his hostility to nationalism did
not entail hostility toward Israel
but that he wished Israel was less
nationalistic.
Rabbin Adin Steinsaltz asserted
that Jews had always been dif-
ferent from others — "a small
island in an ocean of paganism"
and that the Western world had
turned back to paganism. What
the Jewish people needed, he de-
clared, was that minimum of
