PAUL ZUCKERMAN'S
THOUGHTS ON
LUBAVITCH

In conjunction with the exclusive Lubav-
itch dinner with Theodore Bikel on Monday,
March 10, as part of the efforts to establish a
Chabad House in Ann Arbor we bring here
some excerpts from the remarks of Mr. Paul
Zuckerman, National President of UJA,
which he delivered at the Hassidic Happening
Concert in Ford Auditorium on January 7th,
1975:

PAUL ZUCKERMAN

". . . But to Nate Rossen, I want to congratulate him. And to the Lubavitch-
ers of Detroit, Michigan, I think it is a great honor that the Governor and Legis-
lature have seen fit to give you recognition and the pleasure and honor of such
an important announcement as marking January, Lubavitcher Month in the
State of Michigan. I think it was wonderful. Actually, I was asked to come here
tonight to pinch hit for my friend Irwin Cohn. But I would have come anyway
. . . because I had a `Chabad Happening' to me when in Israel in October. I took a
mission of about 220 people over. My wife, Helen, was with me. And the job was
to show them Israel from the East to the West, from the North to the South, and
then have a fund-raising meeting on Thursday night . . ."
". . . I studied the itinerary program: On Wednesday afternoon, lunch —
Kfar Chabad! So I turned to my UJA Israeli man, and I said 'what's Kfar Cha-
bad?' Because in all fairness, when we take a mission to Israel, there are Reform
Jews and Conservative Jews and Orthodox Jews. And one thing we keep away
from is the denomination of our Jewishness. We call ourselves Jews, Anachnu
Echod, We Are One. It doesn't matter what kind of Jew you are. And he told me
all about the Lubavitchers, which I had heard from Irwin Cohn, incidentally,
many many times. I was a little bit afraid of it because a Reform Jew might say,
`Why are you spending a whole afternoon of my time going to a village called
Kfar Chabad? I came here to see the needs of Israel, the absorption centers, the
desperate financial needs, Yad Voshem — the memorial to the six million dead.
We wanted to see the upper Galilee, Maalot and where Kiryat Shemona was
attacked by the Arabs. We wanted to go into the Negev.' We got a lot of kickback
about going to Kfar Chabad to a point where for the first time in about 20 years
in this kind of work I was a bit worried . . ."
". . . Finally our six buses pull into Kfar Chabad and it's village of about
5,000 people. There are five vocational schools, which I was very surprised to see.
You don't find that in Maya Shearim in Jerusalem. There was a carpentry
school, electronics, agriculture school, a school that made locks and a printing
school. Emma Schaver built one, too. We got out of our buses and there was the
most delightful lunch ready. And the men were dressed just like everybody else,
shirts and sport trousers. We thought they were going to wear black suits and
ties. And the women, especially the younger ones, were wearing what our ladies
normally wear. And all of a sudden our American women felt very out of place.
We had lunch and then the music started and the dancing started. Let me tell
you something, I never had more fun in my life! They did not try to teach us
anything, they did not try to sell us anything, they didn't try to give us their
dogma. It was just Jew to Jew. It was beautiful! And I finally sent the six buses
back to the hotel. At that time, it was about 4:00. I stayed on with a couple of
army men, and I said to one, 'Tell me about these boys in the army.' He said,
`They are the strongest, bravest fighters in the world. And they sing as they
fight with a prayer in their hearts. And as they die, a song is still on their lips.
These 5,000 Lubavitchers have made singing fighters out of tens and tens and
tens of thousands of Israeli fighters who have never seen the inside of a Syn-
agogue.' I am very proud of that. We went to the library and I brought home a
book. I realized that here were a people that were not only productive to them-
selves but to the country. They fought for their country. And in that atmosphere
of doom and gloom and sadness and loneliness and with the world against them,
they continued to sing and dance. And of course I had to come to the conclusion
that this was the reason why we are still on this earth, and that for 2,000 years,
in spite of the pogroms and the humiliations and degredations and the Spanish
Inquisition and the Hitlerism and everything else, we still are a people because of
people like the Lubavitchers . . ."
