`Election not critical to Jews'
Chicago (JTA) — An American
Jewish Committee official pre-
dicted that the national election
results were unlikely to have a
critical effect on Jewish interests
as long as the political center re-
mained strong. But, he added,
tensions could arise in the Jewish
community if the elections ulti-
mately led to an increase in power
for either "anti-Semitic forces on
the left or Christian fundamen-
talism on the right."
For Jewish voters, said Alfred
Moses, chairman of the AJC's na-
tional executive council, "what
distinguishes the 1984 President-
ial campaign from the campaign
four years ago has been the shift
in focus for Jews from Israel and
Israel-related issues to domestic
concerns.
"Outcroppings
of anti-
Semitism on the Democratic left
and Christian fundamentalism on
the Republican right have
engaged to attention of Jews this
fall far more than the familiar
rhetorical question as to which
candidate would be a better friend
of Israel."
The new executive head of the
American Jewish Committee
called for "an equal partnership",
between Israel and the American
Jewish community, which he said
looks upon America as its home.
"The time has come," Dr. David
M. Gordis told the agency's execu-
tive council, "for the American
Jewish Committee to assert,
without guilt, that we are part of a
proud and self-confident Jewish
community that can and will sur-
vive creatively in this country, in
a constructive and mutually-
enhancing partnership with Is-
rael."
Dr. Gordis, who became execu-
tive vicepresident in July, spoke
at the annual meeting of the top
policy=making body.
Dr. Gordis urged the Jewish
people, in all countries, to re-
evaluate the role of Israel and of
Jewish nationalism "in the pre-
sent reality of Jewish life" so that
the Zionist fold would continue to
include "all those ardent suppor-
ters of Israel who assert its cen-
trality in Jewish life but do not
plan to settle in Israel."
During the meetings in
Chicago, Sen. Lowell Weicker
(R-Conn.) criticzed fundamen-
talists who seek to establish
prayer in the public schools. "I say
to them that in the United States
there is no more traditional value
than separation of church and
state," Weicker said.
Helen Suzman, a member of
South Africa's Parliament and a
long-term opponent of apartheid,
stated that the key to peaceful
change in South Africa rested in
the expansion of its economy for
the benefit of 22 million blacks.
Accepting the AJC's American
Liberties Medallion, Suzman
argued that "those who believe
that total economic collapse
would facilitate a black revolu-
tion and black majority rule."
Such a course, she said, could
only be advocated by people sit-
ting safely thousands of miles
away, for "a black revolution
would have no chance of success,
as anyone who knows anything
about the strength, ferocity and
competence of the South Africa
police will agree."

New York (JTA) — A second
fire in a 48-hour period against a
synagogue in the Bensonhurst
section of Brooklyn left the door to
Talmud Torah Congregation
slightly scorched before it was ex-
tinguished.
The second blaze came after an
explosion and fire early Oct. 31
that gutted the four-story Maple-
ton Park Jewish Center, two
blocks from the Talmud Torah
synagogue. That explosion and
fire were termed arson by the fire
department and led New York
City Police t'Commissioner Ben-
jamin Ward to form a 20-man task
force to investigate the incidents.
The New York Jewish Commu-
nity Relations Council offered a
$5,000 reward for _information
leading to the arrest and convic-
tion of those found guilty in the
Mapleton Park Jewish Center
arson attack. The center had

Washington — The American

synagogue.
On Sunday, some 1,000 people
including New Jersey Governor
Thomas Kean participated in an
interfaith rally and demonstra-
tion of solidarity that concluded
with clean-up operations at a
synagogue defaced last month
with anti-Semitic slogans and
damaged when a tractor was dri-
ven through the building's side.
Three youths have been ar-
rested for the anti-Semitic attack
on Beth Shalom Synagogue in
Manalapan Township.
Six youths arrested
in cemetery ruin
Bonn (JTA) — Police in the
town of Fulda in the federal state
of Hesse have arrested six youths
who they say desecrated the
Jewish cemetery in the nearby
town of Weyhers late last month.
The youths, aged eight-13, were
questioned by the police and re-
turned to their homes.
Some 90 of the 200 tombstones
in the cemetery were uprooted
and at least 20 of the tombstones
were severely damaged. The six
youths admitted responsibility for
the incident, police said. At least
two of the six had participated in
previous desecrations of the
cemetery last year and again last
summer.
