Appeal for Large Jewish Family
Seen as Chauvinist by Feminist
By BEN GALLOB
(Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.)
A Jewish feminist who is
committed to greater equal-
ity for women within the
framework of Jewish law
has declared that "the call
for more Jewish babies is a
simplistic solution to a com-
plex problem" which she
contended had some anti-
feminist implications.

professor of history at
Columbia University, said

was "not merely the number
of persons born as Jews, but
the number of those who
choose to live as Jews."
Reporting her views in an
issue of "Shwa," she argued
that "the central factor" in
gloomy predictions about a
shrinking Jewish commu-
nity was "the high cost of
assimilation — either
through opting out of the
community or through min-
imal affiliation among nom-
inal Jews."
She said that she found
"particularly troubling"
as a Jewish feminist that
many prop'onents of
large Jewish families ap-
pear insensitive to self-
fulfillment. She said most
Jewish feminists readily
agree that such fulfill-
ment can come through
motherhood. But, she
added, many mothers
seek fulfillment outside
the home as well as
within it.

Oil Is Controlling
EEC Statements
NEW YORK — A re-
search report just published
by the Institute of Jewish
Affairs, the London-based
research arm of the World
Jewish Congress, suggests
that the political maneuver-
ing within the nine-member
European Economic Com-
munity (EEC) has lead to
increasing criticism of Is-
rael, a greater degree of dis-
sociation from American
policy and a more conciliat-
ory approach to the Arab
oil-producing states over
the past two years.
The report states that
private reservations and
ambivalence about the
Egypt-Israel peace treaty
have now become public and
the EEC statement on the
Middle East in June was the
"coolest yet toward the
Israel-Egypt accord . . . For
the first time since the sign-
ing of the peace treaty, the
nine were united in con-
demning Israel."
The report suggests that
futur6 EEC policy will
probably be determined by
the fact that "the intensify-
ing scramble for oil has put
an even higher premium on
mollifying OPEC and on
securing at the almost any
price the flow of the precious
commodity it controls."

New Directors
WASHINGTON — Rabbi
Irwin M. Blank of Brook-
line, Mass. has been ap-
pointed director of the Bnai
Brith department of adult
Jewish education, Dr.
Daniel Thursz, executive

International, announced.
The organization has also
appointed Louis A. Felser of
Baltimore director of fiscal

may be more egalitarian
than those of their parents,
the daily responsibility of
raising children with few
exceptions, "still falls far
more heavily upon mothers
than upon fathers. The fer-
tility boosters rarely call for
men to assume a larger
share of child care."
Generally speaking, she
asserted, women who work
outside the home do have
smaller families than those
who do not, leading her to
feel that "proponents of
large families thus im-
plicitly reinforce tradi-
tional" confining, mas-
culine and feminine roles
within the family and
explicitly impose guilt upon
women who choose to limit
their child-bearing."
At the very least, promot-
ers of high fertility among
Jews should address them-
selves to the needs of those
women who are not
enthralled with the pros-
pect of a decade of fill-time
care of small children," Ms.
Hyman said.
AJC Aids NOW
NEW YORK — The
American Jewish Congress
has asked the Eighth Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals in St.
Louis to reject efforts by the
state of Missouri to punish
the National Organization
of Women (NOW) for al-
legedly violating the Sher-
man Anti-Trust Act in
withholding convention
business from states that
have not ratified the Equal
Rights Amendment.
The organization argued
that NOW's campaign was
protected by First Amend-
ment guarantees of freedom
of speech and association
and that the boycott did not
fall within the sphere of ac-
tivity at which the anti-
trust laws were aimed.
