Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, newly
elected president of the AJC, de-
clared in his inaugural address
that American Jews must find a
"middle course" that will include
ccncern both for the universal
values of human rights and the
particular needs of Jewish survival.
Rabbi Hertzberg said, ' We Jews
have learned to our sorrow that
what is good for society is not al-
ways g:md for Jews. We can no
longer assure that working to im-
prove the community at large will
enhance the lot of the Jews. At
the same time, howeyer, we dare
not react by succumbing to the
obnoxious tendency - to turn our
backs to the world and involve our-
selves only with immediate Jew-
ish interests,"
He said he hoped the AJCon-
gress would "rededicate itself to
opening channe:s of commun-
ication both to other religious
and ethnic groups in American
society and with oppasing view-
points within the Jewish com-
munity." Rabbi Hertzberg said.
