HARRIS

NEW YORK — Rabbi
Baruch Korff, chairman of
the National Citizens Com-
mittee for Fairness to the
President, has begun a new
campaign — to focus on
"giants of the media," who
he believes, "are fearful of
history judging them_ as
assassins."
The committee's ultimate
goal, Rabbi Korff said, "for
those leftists and liberals to
go to hell."

Temple Kol Ami

Ernst J. Conrad, Rabbi

-

Next Year in West Bloomfield

For some time now, the Birmingham Unitarian Church has served
as Temple Kol Ami's physical home. The relationship between the congre7_
gations has remained remarkably warm—especially since the gracious
Unitarians had no idea we'd be around so long when our fledgling congre-
gation came seeking a "temporary" lodging place eight years ago.

From the outset, of course, there was the dream of Temple Kol Ami's
own home. As time passed and the congregation grew from fewer than 10
families to well over 100, a piece of land in West Bloomfield Township
was purchased. The little clapboard house that was on the land provided
room for an office and a study of sorts for Rabbi Ernst Conrad, but that
was about all.

This spring, we broke ground at our property on Walnut Lake Road,
west of Farmington Road. And within a year, Temple Kol Ami will be in
its own fine new home.

The building will be modest by most standards—and that's precisely
the way we want it. It will be good looking and it will be functional and
it will be utilized to the fullest. But above all it will be modest both in
size (membership is limited to 300 families) and in concept.

Temple Kol Ami believes in monuments of spirit and deed rather
than of brick and mortar. We're convinced that such monuments are erected
by cultivating an appreciation of our Jewish heritage . . . by heeding the
principles of righteousness and brotherhood . . . by pursuing paths of in-
telligent social action . . . by instilling in our children a solid understanding
of the tenets of Judaism.

Our Sunday morning religious school activities (held at the Orchard
Lake Middle School) are designed to serve as the basic building blocks for
the latter goal. Kol Ami is a liberal, Reform temple and the school reflects
that philosophy.

In addition to the Sunday morning sessions, Hebrew classes are held
on Wednesday afternoons for those boys and girls who choose to take them,
or who are planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

If you would like to know more about us, please call us at 681-3988.
We'd love to have you join us.

Temple Kol Arni

Recalling his campaign for
fairness to President Nixon,
Rabbi Korff said he had
admonished the former presi-
dent that he should have
burned the tapes. Mr. Nixon
was quoted commenting,
"Why didn't you tell it to me
six months earlier?"
Rabbi Korff is chaplain for
the Massachusetts Depart-
ment of Mental Health.

Rabbi Suggests
Moratorium on
New Converts

ELIZABETH N.J. (JTA)
—A leading American Ortho-
dox rabbi said he had pro-
posed, in a telegram to Pre-
mier Yitzak Rabin, that the
Israel government set a five-
year moratorium on accept-
ance and recognition by Is-
rael of converts, regardless
of the halakhic status of
their conversions. The only
exception should be Soviet
immigrants.
Rabbi Pinhas Teitz, a for-
mer member of the presi-
dium of the Union of Ortho-
dox Rabbis of the U.S. and
Canada, said he had offered
the proposal "to promote
unity, strengthen the gov-
ernment and quiet the dis-
cords which have been caused
by the tragic issue of 'Who
is a Jew.' "
Rabbi Teitz cited, in his
telegram, precedents for his
proposal during the reigns of
King David and King Solo-
mon.
For Soviet immigrants, who
would be "the only exception"
in the moratorium, Rabbi
Teitz proposed that the chief
rabbinate establish a special
court of "qualified rabbis" to
supervise conversions.
He proposed that Israel's
Law of Return be amended
in accordance with the mora-
torium proposal.

Kissinger's
Avoirdupois

NEW YORK—Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger is
paying the price for being
a top-notch disengagement
negotiator in the Middle East
—he's got an expanded waist-
line.
Kissinger put on about 25
pounds during the marathon
negotiations between Israel,
Syria and Egypt, and now
he's trying to lose the weight.
