Orthodox Debate: Politicians vs. Shtadlan

Jews acting on behalf of Or-

sponsible spokesmen.
The protagonists were Dr.
Bernard Fryshman, a
physics professor active in
Orthodox organizations and
Nathan Lewin, a Washing-

active in such organiza-
tions. The two outlined the

Lewin, citing his experi-
ence in battles over legisla-
tion vital to Jews, declared
that he disagreed strongly
with the proposition that
"our own political represen-
tatives" are not needed or
are less desirable than the
"tried and true shtadlan,"
even though he himself had
chosen the role of shtadlan
over public office.
Lewin asserted that "no
matter how effective and
persuasive" the shtadlan
may be, he is "Mr. Outside,"
while the elected official is
"a Member of the Club." He
added that, from that
perspective, "a voice — or
several voices — inside the
cloakroom is worth hun-
dreds, no matter how gol-
den, singing from without."
He added that no one op-
posed the view that incom-
petent or dishonest candi-
dates should not be elected,
Orthodox or not Orthodox,
"but the fact that a candi-
date is Orthodox and is,
therefore, naturally sensi-
tive to our community's
needs is a very important
plus."
Lewin asserted that "no
`trade-offs' need be made
with such a candidate. He is

community a favor, for

appeared in the September
issue of "Jewish Opinion,"
the scholarly publication of
Agudath Israel of America.
Dr. Fryshman, who is
chairman of the commission
on legislation and civic ac-
tion of Agudath Israel,
argued that one of the dan-
gers of supporting a candi-
date who is Orthodox sim-
ply because he or she is Or-
thodox could mean that if
such a contest led to the de-
feat of "a friendly non-
Orthodox incumbent," the
consequences for Orthodox
interests could be seriously
adverse. He noted, in his
presentation, that more and
more Orthodox Jews were
running for public office.
Once elected, he de-
clared, an incompetent
Orthodox Jewish politi-
cian could harm the
interests of Orthodox
Jewry, as could honest
and capable ones "voting
their conscience." He
cited as an example an
Orthodox candidate who
was reported to be neut-
ral on "gay rights." He
asserted that if that can-
didate had been elected,
"he would have been far
more dangerous to our
cause than any non-
Orthodox individual un-
equivocally for gay
rights."

Hotels come and go. For many reasons. But Saxony guests keep coming
back. They come back for the beautiful accommodations and sporting
facilities. They come back for the superior service and superb dining.
But mostly they come back because "only the best will do."
