NEW YORK—The United Syna-
gogue of America has reaffirmed
its opposition to governmental aid
for parochial schools, while con-
tinuing to support the concept of
noneducational health and welfare
aids to all children.
At the same time, it repeated
its urging of the Jewish com-
munity to strengthei religious
school education.
A board of directors resolution,
recently adopted, acknowledged
that some differences of view on
the issue exist within the Conser-
vative movement. It declared:
- "Not surprisingly, an issue as
controversial and complex as state
aid to parochial education has
provoked some differences within
-the Conservative movement, as it
has within all branches of Juda-
ism. Let us table .those disagree-
ments. Let us now join hands in
a full-scale effort to bring strength
and vitality to our system of re-
ligious education. Surely, we have
the will, the resources, the Many
devoted and dedicated people es-
sential for that task without the
stultifying aid of government."
