Changing Traditions Derided
For Hanukah
Editor, The Jewish News:
Playing with 'traditions'
is dangerous for a religion's
health. Changing religious
interpretations and existing
traditional procedures is
similar to injecting a poi-
sonous venom.

First came changes con-
cerning the role of the
woman in the Shabat morn-
ing service. Then followed
changes and changes in the
Bat Mitzva ceremony. Each
synagogue adopted a differ-
ent procedure and concept.
Unity became scarce.
Converts shopped around
for the best conversion buy.
Temples were found to be
saviors. Then some conserv-
ative synagogues also
reformed themselves on this
issue. Unity again
disappeared.
The traditional ceremony
to demonstrate a young
man's acceptance of his
own religious responsibility,
called traditionally Bar Nllt-
zva, changed from syna-
gogue to synagogue. In
addition to ceremonial
changes, requirements for
the young ineu were
created.
When pre-Bar Mitzva and
pre-Bat Mitzva students are
threatened into attending a
junior congregation service,
rules being changed year to
year, students being forced
to sing their Bar-Bat Nlitzva
ceremony presentations for
a junior congregation leader
and board of directors
member, a positive Jewish
attitude cannot be expected.
Judaism cannot afford to
lose future Jewish gener-
ations because of such
changes and rule making
situations.
