Orthodox Seek Self-Policing Body
to Enforce Ethics of U.S. Jewry
massive, two-year effort to
draft a master plan for the
Jewish community in the
decades ahead.
Rabbi Maurice Lamm, of
Congregation Beth Jacob,
Beverly Hills, Calif., stated
that "the Jewish commu-
nity must develop a built-in
mechanism designed to
prevent those who are pro-
ven of civil and moral
crimes from holding posi-
tions of trust in the commu-
nity."
He suggested two
specific measures to deal
with the problem, which
he described as "pragma-
tic" and "educational."
The pragmatic approach
calls for the incorporation of
"a specific by-law or
amendment; which would
automatically remove any
officer or member of a gov-
erning body upon conviction
of a felony, even before sen-
tencing."
Lamm's educational ap-
proach calls for "a special
intensive curriculum of tra-
ditiohal Jewish ethics
studies to be instituted in
all of our schools, with
added incentives and re-
wards for students whose
personal ethical standards
of behavior excel." He ex-
pressed the hope that
through such an intensive
educational program
further ethical embarrass-
ments in the Jewish com-
munity can be avoided.
