A sixth victim, Rabbi Yosef Gootman, was reported in very critical condition in a hospital in Coatsville, Pa. According to Yosefy, all of the victims were ritual slaughterers or kashrut supervisors. All resided in the Boro Park or Williamsburgh sections of Brooklyn. The accident occurred at around 4 a.m. while they were on their way to a kosher packing plant in Lancaster County.

Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church, in which he con- demned anti-Semitism and supported the state of Israel's right to a sec- ure existence. Rabbi Marc H. Tanen- baum, national director of the AJCommittee's in- terreligious affairs de- partment, said the statement, which ap- peared as a full-page ad- vertisement in Sunday's New York Times, is a "constructive response to the issues raised in our recent study of Moon's book the "Divine Princi- ple." However, Tanenbaum added, "Nevertheless, we hope the Rev. Moon's as- sertion that the Unifica- tion movement 'Categori- cally condemns anti- Semitism, the most hide- ous, abject and cruel form of hatred' will lead to a conscientious effort to re- form and revise the sources of anti-Semitism in the basic teachings of the Unification move- ment." The AJCommittee in a study released at its na- tional executive council meeting in Dallas earlier this month, accused Moon of "unrelieved hostility to Jews and Judaism" and described his teachings as a "breeding ground for fostering anti-Semitism." Tanenbaum said this week that the AJCommit- tee has accepted an invi- tation from the Unifica- tion Theological Semi- nary to discuss these is- sues. Moon, in his statement, attributed the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust to "political short-sightedness and lack of moral responsibil- ity on the part of Ger- many's political and reli- gious leaders, and statesmen from among other nations, in the period between the two world wars." Tanenbaum noted, "While these factors can- not be denied, the groundwork for the Holocaust was laid cen- turies before that, and the destruction of Euro- pean Jewry cannot be viewed apart from the centuries-long traditions of anti-Semitism which dehumanized Jews, heaped contempt upon them and justified their persecution on 'religious' grounds. The reference to Jews and Judaism documented in the AJ- Committee study of the `Divine Principle' con- formed to that tradition and bolstered it." Tanenbaum said, "If Rev. Moon is sincere in ex- tending his hand of friend- ship to the Jewish people and Israel, we urge him to re-examine the negative and hostile teachings in `Divine Principle' and to temper his sweeping ac- cusation of collective sin and guilt in the light of re- happens." Some 100 militants led by Rabbi Meir Kahane staged a demonstration Sunday against Moon at the New Yorker Hotel in midtown Manhattan, the headquarters of the Un- ification Church, Soviets Attend Israel Red Parley RABBI TANENBAUM cent biblical scholarship and the precedents estab- lished by major church groups." Moon in his statement also said his Unification movement "recognizes the divine and natural right of the Jewish people to physical survival and preservation of its spe- cific religious traditions" and supported the right of Soviet Jews to immi- grate to Israel. Meanwhile, the Jewish Defense League announced that it will embark on a program of helping parents get back their children who have been lost to Moon's movement. The JDL said it "will now make the destruction of Rev. Moon's movement and the Unification Church a priority in as much as the organized Jewish community has failed to do so. Thousands of Jewish youths have been lost to Rev. Moon and the JDL will no longer sit by while this TEL AVIV (JTA) —Three officials of the Soviet Communist Party arrived last week to at- tend the congress of the Rakah (Communist) Party.
