Wornen"s Equal Rights Amendment
Not Seen as Threat to Judaism

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Rab-
binical Council of America issued
a statement of principle which
declared that the equal rights
amendment for women passed by
Congress and now making its way
through various state legislatures
- poses no threat to the practice
of Judaism in the United States."
In a report to the RCA execu-
tive board, Rabbi Bernard L. Ber-
zon. RCA president, said "while
we have not taken any position on
whether or not this amendment is

necessary, the implications whit', I
some have sought to draw that
there were religious reasons why
the amendment should not he
passed must be rejected."

This was an apparent reference
to four Orthodox Jewish organ-
izations who issued a statement
opposing the amendment as inimi-
cal to "our rights to continue prae-
tieing our faith as we have done
for the past three centuries in
America." This stance was im-
mediately assailed by a leader
of the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations as "self-destructive
and anachronistic" and "turning
back to the Middle Ages."

Judaism, Rabbi Berzon said,
"was the first to recognize the
status of the woman and to give
her freedoms which were previous-
ly unknown and as such it has
nothing to fear from this amend-
ment." To imply that this amend-
ment will "affect our ability to
practice our religious tenets free-
ly, is to display a lack of faith in
the American institution and the
American way of life," he stated.
Meanwhile, the Presidium of
Agudath Israel of America has
asked members of the New York
Slate Assembly to vote against
ratification of the women's equal
rights amendment. The Orthodox
Jewish movement claimed that this
amendment would "mandate the
conscription of women into the

armed services," and declared

that "this would be a severe set-
back to the moral tone of our na-
tion's youth as well as to the
moral climate of our entire so-
ciety."

Goldniann Denies Israel Govt. Puts Pressure on WJC
be given the

LONDON (JTA) — Dr. Nahum ,
Goldmann, president of the World
Jewish Congress, said he was com-
pelled to correct "inaccurate as-
sertions" about the WJC by Jack
Winocur who resigned last week
as director of its information de-1
lartment in London. Winocour at-
:ributed his resignation to the al-
leged usurpation of the WJC's
independence by the Israel govern-
ment.
Dr. Goldmann said, "In my long
years as president of the WJC, I
have never witnessed any attempt
on the part of the Israeli authorities
to enforce an attitude on the WJC
leadership."
Dr. Goldmann referred specific-
ally to the issues of Jewish emigra-
tion from the Soviet Union, a sub-
ject on which his own expressed
views conflicted with those of the
World Zionist Organization Execu-
tive, and which led to the with-
drawal of the WZO's invitation to
him to address the 28th World
Zionist Congress in Jerusalem last
January.

Goldmann continued. "Is obviously ! remain in the USSR
interested in a large immigration right to live as a Jewish minority
of Soviet Jews to Israel, but it is and to develop their own religious
not true that they have ever de-', and cultural life," he said.
