Holocaust, Israel Relatively Ignored in Church Schools

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (JTA)—
The two most decisive events of
contemporary Jewish history—the
Holocaust and the rebirth of Israel
— are relatively ignored in the
courses of study offered by Catholic
and Protestant colleges and theo-
logical seminaries in America.
That is the "possible conclusion"
derived from a nationwide survey
just completed on de specific
changes in educational program-
ing that has taken place in these
institutions since the Vatican II
conciliar statement on the Jews
five years ago.
The survey was conducted jointly
by the American Jewish Commit-
tee and the Institute of Judeo-
Christian Studies at Seton Hall Uni-
versity.
A preliminary review of the re-
sults was offered by Rabbi Marc
H. Tannenbaum, director of the
AJCommittee's interreligious af-
fairs department, at a three-day
interfaith convocation at Seton Hall.
The survey found that Judaism is
taught essentially as a "religion"
and probably most specifically as
background for or a prelude to
Christian theological studies.
Very few of the schools that
responded to the questionnaire
maintains a department of Jew-
ish studies, though nearly half
of them provide separate courses
in Jewish studies, and nearly 70
per cent say that they invite
local rabbis when specifically
Jewish subjects are being dis-
cussed.
Rabbi Tanenbaum said the level
of response to the questionnaires
was an indication of the level of
interest in Jewish studies on the
part of the institutions queried.
Responses were received from
65 per cent of the Catholic colleges
and universities and 30 per cent
of the seminaries. Out of 500 Cath-
olic high schools, 35.4 responded.
The response from Protestant in-
stitutions was 52 per cent for col-
leges and 30 per cent for semi-
naries.

Rabbi Tanenbaum reported that
a very small percentage of the
institutions of higher learning dealt
with the meaning of the Holocaust.
The survey showed that 10.3 of
the Catholic seminaries and 5.4
per cent of the colleges offered
courses on the history of Israel.
The figure for Protestant schools
was 1.5 per cent and 6.8 per cent
respectively. But 19.6 per cent of
Catholic high schools offered such
courses.

The convocation was addressed

by the Rev. Cornelius Rijk, direc-
tor of the Vatican Office of Cath-
olic-Jewish relations, who predicted
an unprecedented relationship be-
tween Judaism and the Catholic
Church resulting from recent
changes in Catholic attitudes. "Ju-
daism exists as a strong, living,
religious reality. The shocking ex-
periences of the last 30 years have
opened many eyes. The reality of
the Jewish people has been im-
pressed on the non-Jewish world—
a reality which can no longer be
denied," he said.
