The word shmura, which means watched in He- brew, is used to describe these matzot because the wheat used in their bak- ing is carefully watched and protected against any contact with water from the moment of har- vest on. Water would cause leavening and thus disqualify its use on Passover. It is recom- mended that shmura matza be used for the Seder. For information, call the Lubavitch Center, 543- 6611.

Rabbi Morton F. No Charge AM ■ NEW YORK (JTA) — The rabbi of one of the na- tion's major Sephardic synagogues has asserted that not only would Or- thodox Jewry not welcome the disappearance of Con- servative and Reform Judaism, but also that the Orthodox movement "should be frightened by such a possibility." Marc Angel, rabbi of New York's Spanish and Por- tuguese Synagogue, took that position as a partici- pant in a symposium on "The State of Orthodoxy" publication of the Rabbini- cal Council of America, a major Orthodox rabbinical association. There was widespread agreement that Conserva- tive and Reform Judaism will not disappear soon and several of the participants shared Rabbi Angel's view that any such disappear- ance would be bad for all Jews. Rabbi Robert Hirt, dean of the communal services division of Yeshiva University, as- serted that "the use of code words and public denigration of non- Orthodox movements lead us to a heightened polarization which dis- courages open, search- ing, non-Orthodox Jews from identifying with Or- thodox institutions." He said Orthodox leaders "would do better to project educational and lifestyle strengths rather than broadcast triumphalist broadsides." There was widespread agreement among the par- ticipants that the network of Hebrew day schools in the United States and Canada is Orthodoxy's main achievement. One of the failures listed is the low pay scales in many of those schools which makes it hard to attract talented teachers. Sir Immanuel Jakobovitz, chief rabbi of the British Commonwealth, said, "Orthodoxy's greatest During World War II, Jews had the highest per- centage of the nationality group serving in the Soviet army, and also had the highest percentage of awards and decorations. failures are to be found in its fragmentation and con- sequent impotence as a cohesive force to match and overtake the communal ef- fectiveness of the non- Orthodox."
