Friday, June 28, 1985 5 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS For all occasions Nation-Wide Delivery . Correcting Impressions RODNICK BROS. I wish to thank you for the arti- cle on me, "Feminist and Zionist," by Sandra Maurer, June 14th. I must urgently, however, make several corrections. Ms. Maurer and I met for about half- an-hour during Passover, hence the emphasis on the Women's Haggadah. She neglected to men- tion the co-author, Nomi Nimrod, or that it was being incorporated into a collection of ceremonies, `The Ceremonial Woman," which I have performed. As we talked about the origins of ritual, the performing of the Haggadah, I mentioned that we are all radicals to our families as we pursue our own paths. The ar- ticle sounds like an attack on my dear parents, Beatrice and Paul Masserman, who are themselves much more deserving of an arti- cle — as long-time dwellers and activists in Detroit — than I. And my children also mentioned — are not the necessary heirs to every idea, every concept I have. We are autonomous — they of their time and their urgencies, I of mine. So let that curious sen- tence not be construed as my at- tacking either my parents or my progeny. It is connection and con- tinuity — our gathering from our past, our passing it on that is what my work is about .. . What I said most urgently, perhaps, was my sorrow that some of the spiritual guidance available here in New York is not there in Detroit. I spoke of the necessity of the Havurah. I spoke of St. John the Divine as a kind of model which involved the young in idealistic causes; aiding the homeless, working at interna- tional, inter-religious meetings (Dean James Morton and I were in the Sinai last March with 160 people of different faiths to create sacred space, to hear each other's' prayers and hopes), and that the Cathedral — as it is called in New York — has artists in resi- dence to give it yet another di- mension. I was wishing for that level of concern, of involving of the young by the synagogues in Detroit. It is an antidote to the present, heavy times in which we dwell. 772-4350 RANDY C.

Embassy Arrests: Wrong Message / THE May I take this opportunity to amplify my comments in your June 14 front-page story, "Send- ing a Message." I am concerned that the brevity of the summary may lead to misinterpretation of my feelings. I am in full moral and emo- tional support of my colleagues who were arrested in Washington at a demonstration outside the Soviet Embassy. I myself have stood in the "Silent Vigil" there several times. However, I ques- tion the usefulness and benefit to Soviet Jews of "illegal activism in that particular situation."
