'Radical Rabbi' Fighting Charge
of Disrupting Religious Service
NEW YORK (JTA) — Rabbi A.
Bruce Goldman, rabbinical ad-
viser to the Radical Jewish Union
at Columbia University, and two
RJU members will go on trial in
criminal court here Jan. 12 on
charges of disrupting a religious
service.
The charges grew out of a num-
ber of attempts by the RJU to
present a series of demands to
the congregation of Temple
Emanu-El, the world's largest
Reform congregation, last May.
The demands involved support
for the RJU opposition to the
Vietnam war and related causes.
Rabbi Goldman and Victo
Levin, a graduate student, were
arrested on the charges after
services at the Reform synagogue
on May 15. Rabbi Goldman was
arrested, along with Anne Rosen,.
a Barnard College graduate, May
29 when he and Miss Rosen sought
to protest the arrest of Levin.
Gerald Lefcourt, serving as at-
torney for the three Jewish de-
fendants, had filed a motion with
Criminal Court Judge Mitchell
Sherwin, either to dismiss the
charges, or to replace New York
County District Attorney Frank
S. Hogan the prosecuting attorney,
on charges of alleged conflict of
interest.
The motion charged that the
alleged conflict of interest stem-
med from the fact that Hogan
is a member of the board of
trustees of Columbia University
