Women's Responsibilities Stressed at Forum
Dr. Milton Covensky, professor
of history at Wayne State Univer-
sity, told the women gathered at
the first session of the Fall Forum
of the Women's Division of the
Jewish Welfare Federation that a
large part of the responsibility of
the continuity of Judaism in Amer-
ica fell upon their shoulders.
"Women have a vital role in
teaching children a sense of his-
tory, the connection and meaning
between the past and the future,"
Dr. Covensky said. This is of spe-
cial importance today, he said,
"when we are surrounded by in-
stant culture and immediate grati-
fication."
Covensky told the women that
the three forces in the world to-
day which constitute a threat
the Judaism are the rise of in-
stant culture, the movement
away from a sense of communi-
ty and the movement toward
the secularisation of life. He was
optimistic about the future of
Judaism, saying that "The Jews
are a very resilient and power-
ful people who have been threat-
ened by overwhelming powers
throughout history but who have
overcome them . . . No one
leaves a community that has
real values."
He concluded his remarks by
noting that the students of today
are searching for an ultimate
meaning to life. He called upon
the women to be authentic to their
history and to their community
and to instill in their children "a
sense of community, a sense of
history and part in a great tradi-
tion, and a sense of transcendal-
ism."
At the second session of the
Fall Forum, Lewis Grossman,
chairman of the American Jew-
ish Committee Midwest Region,
discussed the "new anti-Semitism"
as it relates to the forum topic,
"Will Our Children Be Jewish in
1980?"
Grossman agreed with a recent
Fortune article by sociologist Mil-
ton Glazer which contends that
very little anti-Semitism has rub-
bed off on the Jewish community
as a result of the involvement of
Jewish youth in campus revolts.
He said there is a new kind of
Jewish radicalism on campus, that
of young people complaining that
their parents aren't Jewish enough
and tllat they don't spend enough
on Jewish education and that there
must be more university Jewish
studies.
Grossman noted that Ameri-
can Jews have more to fear from
increased secularism in an open
society than from threats of
Physical destruction. The sources
of virulent anti-Semitism today,
he said, are militant blacks and
those who equate the Jewish
community with Che young Jews
who are campus revolutionaries.
Mrs. John L. Greenberg is chair-
man of this year's Fall Forum.
Chairman of Wedneiday's meet-
ing was Mrs. Bernard Stolknan,
with Mrs. Robert Weinstock as
vice-chairman.
The Fall Forum - is part of the

marks at the forum, Mrs. Max
Stollman, president of the Wom-
en's Division, said, "An educated
and knowledgeable woman is a
dedicated woman."
