He and two fellow panel-
ists, Dr. Eric Meyers, pro-
fessor of religion at Duke

University, and Rabbi Steven
Shaw, director of the Hillel
Foundation at Rutgers Uni-
versity, expressed concern
that conversion efforts were
beginning to have an influ-
ence on Jewish youth, es-
pecially at college.
They observed that these
efforts appeared particularly
threatening at a time when-
American Jews and Jewish
communal agencies were en-
gaged in serious discussions
about the implications of ris-
ing rates of intermarriage.

the need for a heightened

sense of Jewish identity and

new ways to insure Jewish
continuity in a secular so-

ciety.

Rabbi Shaw expressed the
view that the challenge by
the Eastern cults posed a
more serious threat to young
Jews and adults than Christ-
ian missionizing.
Rabbi Eisendrath warned
that "such highly financed
campaigns as 'Key '73' and
'The Campus Crusade for
Christ,' while not directed
specifically at Jews are nev-
ertheless putting unwarranted
and unnecessary pressure up-
on Jewish young people
which both distresses and
disturbs us."
He said it was "inevitable
that missionary movements
such as the old American
Board of Missions to the Jews
and the newly formed Jews
for Jesus movement whose
primary aim is to convert
Jews, will gain impetus from
the above movements."
Rabbi Eisendrath urged
Christian bodies such as the
National Council of Churches
and the Catholic Bishops Con-
ference to "take every possi-
ble step to restrain the ex-
cessive zeal of the fundamen-
talist evangelical groups"
which "may subject young

Meir said that the exemp-

permit youngsters to engage

She was referring specifi-
