In my extensive research into the modern history of Jews in Egypt, I have discov- ered that the 1945 riots were not a "minor incident" at all.

Rabbis, cantors, music specialists and congrega- tional representatives at the three-day conference, spon- sored by the New York school of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the Reform semi- nary, also heard reports about the search conducted among the 715 Reform syn- agbgues in the United States an Canada to help .congregants "understand and appreciate prayer." Music was described as an _ essential bridge to create the proper mood, personal RABBI HERSHEL MATT identification and feeling among worshippers. Bonim Shur, director of liturgical_music in the semi- nary's Cincinnati school, said the use of rock or guitar music in liturgy, was "a trrcky business." He con- tended it was not possible to "transplant" the "song- leader style" used in camps to the synagogue where a parallel intimacy did not exist. He also argued that rock was a representation of the "anger of the younger generation" seeking to de- stroy the establishment, whether it was "the syn- agogue or value systemS." How ever, he said, he used rock rhythms and moods in music he wrote for the syn- agogue because "we hear it every day on our radios and cannot avoid such sounds which have become part of our lifestyle."
