rather than the short-term
advantages of a particular
group.
Among those Jews who
view the polarization with
equanimity, many are con-
vinced that only their group
will survive. But the Or-
thodox who favor withdrawal
should not be so complacent.
True, they could turn out to
be the saving remnant. They
could equally turn out to be
the contemporary 'Dead Sea
sect' — the group that with-
drew to save its own purity
and died an arid,. nameless
death sundered. from Jewish
history. Those Conservative
Jews who feel that Orthodox
is reactionary and a lost
cause, those Reform and sec-
ular Jews who have written
off the survival' of the tradi-
tionalists, all thole who are
convinced that they alone
are modern enough to sur-
vive,' should ask themselves
whether it is not equally
likely that they will simply
be assimilated into the
magnetic culture of the
twentieth century?
We need each other. The
renewal of each group is the
best insurance for the survi-
val of all groups. It is time to
develop true consciousness of
the urgency of the polariza-
tion problem and to formu-
late strategies detailed
enough and wise enough to
attack problems Mid, find
root solutions. The will to
unity, and recognition of
common fate is extraordinar-
ily powerful among the
Jewish rank and file. The
failure lies in the fact that
all that energy has gone into
political and philanthropic
fields. It is time to translate
the sense of common destiny
into theological categories,
halachic thinking, and reli-
gious behaVior.
This call . for unity is not
based on the hope of unanim-
ity or uniformity. There is
nothing wrong with dis-
agreements. The divisions
need not be papered over.
What is needed. is restraint
to avoid fundamental
breaches, and commitments
to find common solutions. No
one should underestimate
either the tradition, or the
will and fertile imagination
of the Jewish people. There
are positive solutions enough
within our grasp. We need
the intelligence, the courage
and the commitment to pur-
sue it. The time to act is
now.
