THE KAHNS AND THE GREENBERGS
English Abbey
and the Jews
Editor, The Jewish News:
The recent request put to
the Chief Rabbi of the
United Kingdom, Rabbi
Immanuel Jakobovitz, by
Prince Philip, husband of
Queen Elizabeth II, that the
Jews of England provide
funds for the restoration of
Westminister Abbey is
stunning in and of itself,
and seems altogether in
poor taste to one who is
familiar with the long his-
tory of Jewish suffering at
the hand of England's pr-
inces, regents and kings.
French Jews settled in
England with the Norman
conquest of William of
Orange, in 1066, but almost
from the moment of their
arrival they were subjected
to some of the worst reli-
gious persecutions in Euro-
pean history. -
The first recorded blood
libel took place in Norwich
in 1144. It was repeated in
several other cities in
England and was always
followed by mass executions
and heavy taxation upon
the survivors. The most
tragic episode occurred in
York, in 1190, when the
entire Jewish community
committed suicide to escape
massacre.
The discriminatory
legislation of the Fourth
Lateran Council (1215),
Akiva Talks
Continuing
demanding that Jews
wear the infamous "Jew
Badge" was enforced in
England earlier and
more stringently than in
any other part of Europe.
Jews were taxed by the
Crown, far in excess of their
numbers in England, until
they were reduced to abject
poverty. Finally, in 1290,
under the rule of King
Edward I, England became
the first Christian nation to
demand the expulsion of its
entire Jewish population.
England remained "Juden-
rein" until 1655, when a
small number of Jelks was
permitted to resettle on
British soil, during the pro-
tectorate of Oliver Crom-
well.
The recent history of
British treatment of Jews
and Zionism is well
documented and requires no
elaboration.
Never was an attempt
made by the British Crown
to compensate the Jews for
the tremendous loss of life
and property, not to speak of
the humiliation, that they
suffered through the Middle
Ages and into modern
times. And now this?
Prince Philip, without
too much scholarly re-
search, would be able to
discover that whenever
the Jews had these taxes
imposed upon them, it
was always for the re-
storation of one cathed-
ral or another.
Time doesn't heal all
wounds.

Negotiators- for Akiva
Hebrew Day School and its
striking teachers were
scheduled to meet again last
night in an effort to resolve
the seven-week-old labor
dispute. Akiva students are
being taught by non-union
teachers during the strike.
Mark Cousens, an attor-
ney representing the
Michigan Federation of
Teachers, said the Akiva
teachers' negotiating team
"has encouraged the school
to meet more frequently and
to meet during the day.
They haven't refused, but
we continue to meet once a
week, at night."
