Jews Returning to Judaism
Overdo It Professor Asserts

,

By BEN GALLOB

(Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.)

A Conservative scholar
has asserted that some Jews
who decide as adults to ob-
serve Jewish religious law
(Halakha) "all too often
abandon all judgment as
they immerse themselves in
the tradition," adopting as a
yardstick the proposition
"the more the better" in ob-
servance.
The observation was
made by Elliot Dorff, asso-
ciate professor of philosophy
at the University of
Judaism in Los Angeles, the
West Coast branch of the
Jewish Theological Semi-
nary of America. Dean of
graduate studies at the uni-
versity, Dorff presented his
views in the November
issue of "Direction," the
university's monthly news-
paper.
Asserting that Jews
throughout the United
States and Canada are tak-
ing a renewed interest in
Halakha, Dorff declared
that one of the factors un-
derlying 'this renewed at-
tention is the current atti-
tude in America that
"ethnic is in" and many
Jews see observance as a
way of 'expressing, them-
selves ethnically.
Dorff added that this
renewed involvement
with Halakha is more
pronounced in the Con-
servative movement than
it is among Orthodox or
Reform Jews. He ex-
plained that in Or-
thodoxy, "the law is the
law and you either accept
it or reject it," while in
Reform, "it is a matter of
individual decision as tko
whether or not one will
observe a given set of
• laws, like those of kas-
hrut."
Holding that there are
both rabbis and lay leaders
within the Conservative
movement who are in-
, terested in greater
stringency in applying
Halakha to conditions of
daily life, Dorf added he
considered this a positive
development because it re-
presented a swing of the
pendulum towards Jewish
tradition and because it
indicated that a segment of
Conservative Judaism
wanted the discipline,
structure and rootedness
which, he said, observance
of Jewish law provides.
In arguing that some

Yeshiva Names
Native of Flint

NEW YORK — Leonard
Fink, a Flint, Mich. native,
will direct Yeshiva Univer-
sity's news and media oper-
ations, having served that
university's Public Rela-
tions Department for a year.
Fink is a 1979 graduate of
Yeshiva University. Before
joining Yeshiva's Public Re-
lations Department, he pro-
duced and directed the
nightly Bernard Meltzer
radio talk-show in New-
York City.
He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. James Fink of Flint.

adult Jews returning to ob-
servance overdo it, Dorff
said that for such JeWs
"there is seldom a sense that
certain aspects of the tradi-
tion should be benignly ig-
nored if not changed out-
right."
He asserted that "a sense
of proportion" on what re-
mains appropriate "is some-
thing that often comes-
naturally to those who have
grown up in the tradition.
They have seen it in prac-
tice and can relate to it as
the organic phenomenon
that it is."
Those who have not
had the experience, he
contended "are ignorant
of Jewish law and feel in-
adequate" and try to
cover that feeling of in-
adequacy "by adopting
the most extreme posi-
tion of Jewish practice."
Dorff listed as indications
of what he considered a re-
vival of interest in obser-
vance of Jewish law, an in-
crease in synagogue adult
education courses on
methods of observance; re-
newed interest in the status
of women in Conservative
Judaism; changes in tradi-
tional Jewish attitudes on
abortion; and a decision
several years ago by the
movement's law committee
that driving on the Sabbath
is permissible if it is for the
purpose of attending
synagogue services.
He said Jewish lay lead-
ers had become more
„sophisticated in matters of
Jewish law and said this
was largely due to improved
educational programs in the
movement.
