Safed Group to
Aid Falashas

SAFED (JNI) — A group
of Safed residents, mostly
religious and new immig-
rants, have formed a com-
mittee to help Ethiopian
Jews, due to arrive soon,
settle into town as quickly
as possible.
The committee said that
recent pledges by some
ultra-Orthodox elements to
fight against the residentce
of Falasha Jews damaged
Safed's good name.

Black Converts in Bay Area

OAKLAND, Calif. (JTA)
— A survey of East Bay
congregations has disclosed
that many local synagogues
have at least one or two con-
gregants who are black con-
verts to Judaism, according
to the Northern California
Jewish Bulletin.
Michael Richards, who
converted three years ago,
declared that "most Jews
are not aware of how many
blacks there are who have
converted to Judaism."
According to the report,
some of the local blacks
were either married into
Judaism or were born into
it. An example of the latter
if Reuven Greenberg, a
former Berkeley resident
who was recently named
sheriff of Charlotte, N.C.
and whose religious ties
were passed down from a
highly devout Jewish
grandfather, the Bulletin
reported.
Once they do convert,
the black Jews became
active in the Jewish
community. Richards
worships at Temple Beth
El in Berkeley, is a
member of the
synagogue's community
concerns committee, is a
coordinator of the Judah
Magnes Museum and was
recently asked to -serve
on the museum's long-
range planning commit-
tee.
According to the report,
there are drawbacks to
being black and Jewish. Be-
cause of their high visibil-
ity, Black Jews often attract
unwanted curiosity from
members of the white
Jewish majority. One Black
Jewish woman refused to
even discuss the process of
her conversion, arguing
that such questions were
"an invasion" of her pri-
vacy.
Sometimes they are put
on the defensive by white
Jews. As Richards leads vis-
itors through the Magnes
Museum, he is often con-
fronted, he reported, by
Jews who "don't understand
why I'm here, or why I
understand so much about
what" is in the museum.
Richards said this is dou-
bly discouraging because

converts often become
targets of anti-Jewish prej-
udice. He said that there are
a lot of people "in the out-
side community who have
negative opinions about
Jews, and when you tell
them you have converted,
they think you are crazy."
