Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, also told 600 representatives of the UAHC's New York Federa- tion of Reform Synagogues at a two-day convention that lay participation could mean the difference be- tween a synagogue being "a museum and one that lives." He said, "We must break the barrier between pulpit and pew by de- professionalizing our reli- gious life," noting that "no- thing in our tradition re- serves certain roles to the professional leader of the congregation." Schindler cited, as examples, a Midwest congregation where lay people spend the entire year preparing the wor- ship services; a far West synagogue where par- ents attend their own religious classes or serve as teachers at the same time as their youngsters attend classes; and a Southwest synagogue which has formed a hav- ura of single parent families, through which they observe the festivals and the Sabbath as a fam- ily unit. Schindler reported that women are contributing their services on all levels in increasing numbers but he expressed concern that the expected 15 to 20 new women rabbis scheduled to be ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish In- stitute of Religion, the Re- form seminary, might not get full acceptance as rab- bis. ik BLOOMFIELD BANQUET ROOMS FOR • BAR MITZVAS • • • • • • WEDDINGS SHOWERS SWEET SIXTEENS BOWLING BANQUETS BUSINESS MEETINGS ANNIVERSARIES • ETC.

The purpose would be "to jar Israel from its present negotiating position to a far more flexible one that is consistent with President Carter's view." In assessing Carter, Siegal said, "I think the President has a basic com- mitment to Israel. But I think he is terribly im- patient." Ku Klux Klan Membership Up NEW YORK — Some 1,500 members joined Ku Klux Klans in 1976 and 1977, bringing the total membership to 8,000, ac- cording to a survey made public by the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith. The League said the increase, after 10 years of declining enrollment since a 1967 high of 55,000, is "significant but not alarm- ing." The survey reveals that Klan recruiting efforts are now aimed at high school students and members of the armed forces.
