THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 12 Friday, November 11, 1918 Orthodox Debate: Politicians vs. Shtadlan Jews acting on behalf of Or- thodoxy as unelected but re- sponsible spokesmen.

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.

Their views 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."
