Jews Reveal Generation Gap in Responses
to Harris Survev on Black Anti-Semitism
NEW YORK (JTA)—A major
study of opinions of Jews and
Negroes in New York City, fi-
nanced by a $109,000 Ford Foun-
dation grant, has disclosed a deep
i.enerational and educational gap
among Jews in their assessments
of black anti-Semitism and in
readiness to support efforts to end
discrimination against non - white
minorities.
The survey. made by Louis Har-
ris and Associates and sponsored
by the Sarah Lawrence College
Institute of community Studies.

2.486 adult residents.
Another major finding was that
Blacks indicated much more com-
mitment to integration than Jews
believed and that they were "far
less intent on pressuring white
society," and particularly in "tear-
ing it down," than Jews feared.
The report found that while 75

whites. nearly half of the Jews
questioned indicated a belief that
Negroes wanted to "tear down
%iliac society."
Another finding was that while
Negroes showed "some real hos-
tility toward Jews," the Jews
consistently underestimated fa-
vorable Negro views about Jews
and generally viewed anti-Jewish

The rabbis note that the Book
of Ezekiel asks that signs of
mourning be eliminated by saying
"Bind thy headtire upon thee"
(Ezekiel 24:17 ff.) This has been
interpreted to eman that tefillin
should be put on (See Targum and
Moed Katan 15a). Thus we deduce
that for the usual mourner on the
first day of mourning tefillin are
not put on. It is claimed by some
that tefillin are considered a
crown of beauty on one's head. A
mourner, on the other hand, has
"dust and ashes" on his head
especially on the first day when
his grief is strongest as compared
with the other days of mourning.
