Administration Budget Cuts
Will Hit Jewish Groups Too
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
(Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.)
The real meaning of the
cuts in economic and social
programs proposed by the
Reagan Administration
will not be fully brought
home to the Jewish com-
munity, as well as to the
general American public,
until the actual decrease in
services are felt.
Right now, the American
Jewish community, or at
least a good part of it, joins
most Americans in support-
ing President Reagan's eco-
nomic proposals. Yet no one
Jerusalem Seen
as 'Mosaic' City
by D.C. Mayor
JERUSALEM -- A new
concept of intergroup rela-
tions emphasizing the
"mosaic" rather than the
"integration" mode im-
pressed Washington D.C.'s
Mayor Marian S. Barry Jr.
during his recent visit here.
Barry was one of 15 chief
executives of European and
American cities who met
here with Jerusalem's
Mayor. Teddy Kollek at an
international conference on
"Urban Development in an
Age of Diminishing Re-
sources."
"In Jerusalem, with its
different religious groups of
Christians, Moslems, and
Jews, people are .not
encouraged to do anything
that doesn't feel natural to
them," Barry said. "While
they are a part of the city,
they are still separate com-
munities. The result is what
Mayor Kollek calls a
`mosaic.' It is a very in-
teresting concept, different
from the United States,
where we advocate social,
economic and political inte-
gration."

Chemistry Book
Printed in Arabic
REHOVOT — An innova-
tive chemistry textbook in-
tegrating necessary con-
cepts from physics, which
was developed by the
Weizmann Institute's sci:
ence teaching department,
is now being published in
Arabic and will be used dur-
ing the next school year in
Israel's Arabic-language
junior high schools.
Meanwhile, the insti-
tute's Feinberg Graduate
School awarded 40 MSc de-
grees and 41 PhD degrees at
ecent graduation cere-
* monies.
At the ceremonies, Prof.
Haim Harari, - chairman of
the planning and grants
committee of the Israel
Council for Higher Educa-
tion, told the graduates that
"Israel already has per
capita exports larger than
those of Japan, but if she is
to achieve relative economic
independence, they will
have to grow larger, and
that depends on the
availability of still more
trained scientists,
engineers and skilled work-
ers."
knows what the impact of
the cuts will be until they
are implemented.
What will be the atti-
tude of American Jews
when they see what the
cuts do to some of the
most cherished programs
of the Jewish federa-
tions? Programs that
deal with the elderly,
children, housing and
nutrition will be cut.
Many of the Jews who
need help are in the cate-
gory of the near poor who
will not have the "safety
net" the Administration
has promised for the
"truly needy."
The Reagan Administra-
tion has made it no secret
that it believes that volun-
tary groups should bear
more responsibility for the
economic and social pro-
grams now conducted by the
government. Jewish groups
have never shirked this re-
sponsibility. But can they
carry on the burden without
government funding?
