A National JewiSh Fani
ily Center, with a primary
goal of seeking "to maintain
and strengthen the Ameri-
can Jewish family," has
been established by the
American Jewish Commit-
tee. Announcement of the
new center was made by
Yehuda Rosenman, director
of the AJCommittee's
Jewish communal affairs
department, at the annual
meeting in San Francisco of
the agency's executive
council.
Rosenman said the cen-
ter's "main objective will be
to maintain and strengthen
the American Jewish fam-
ily," and "deal with all is-
sues that affect the Ameri-
can family as well as the

PHILADELPHIA
When Mikveh Israel, the
second oldest synagogue in
the United States, left its
synagogue building at
Broad and York Streets
here several years ago to re-
turn to its original site in
the Old Philadelphia area,
it left behind a graffiti-
marked historical building
with a bleak future.
Now, a new and exciting
future is envisioned for the
historical synagogue build-
ing by the Dropsie Univer-
sity, which has shared a
common campus with Mik-
veh Israel since the turn of
the century. The university
purchased the building two
years ago when the only
prospective purchaser ap-
peared to be a funeral direc-
tor.
Dr. Joseph Rappaport,
president of the university,
recently announced plans to
establish an Institute of
Advanced Jewish and Mid-
dle Eastern Studies in the
synagogue building. The
proposed institute will be
staffed by post-doctoral
scholars serving as resident
fellows.
In addition, an architec-
tural study of the building's
facilities will be undertaken
for the installation of the
institute and provisions
will be made for seminar
rooms and a small au-
ditorium which would also
be utilized for the univer-
sity's community outreach
program in the North
Philadelphia ghetto
neighborhood in which it is
located.

Cause or Effect?

Arabs claim that the
plight of the Palestinians is
the heart of the Arab-Israeli
conflict, which will not be
ended unless the Palesti-
nian question is resolved.
This is the result of the con-
flict — not the source. The
basic cause is the refusal of
the Arab states to acknowl-
edge Israel's right to exist.

specific needs of the Jewish
family."
He said the center's ac:
tivities would include re-
search on the dynamics of
contemporary Jewish fam-
ily life, dissemination of in-
formation and training of
lay and professional lead-
ers.
The center, based at
AJCommittee headq
ters in New York,
have ties to universities,
other research institutes
- and professionals.
The center will begin
regular publication this
month of a National Jewish
Family Center newsletter
to serve as a clearing house
for those whose research
and program innovations
are being developed to sup- _-
port family life.

The Committee for Equal

signatures in the Los

that Redgrave's support for
the Palestine Liberation

"appearance in the role of a

One of the leaders of the

that it took courage for
