Los Angeles (JTA) — Rabbi
Alexander Schindler, president
of the (Reform) Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations
(UAHC), Saturday night as-
sailed attacks on Reform
Judaism by some Orthodox
spokesmen and vowed that "we
will not be read out of the
Jewish fold — not in Israel, not
in Europe, not anywhere else on
God's earth."
In an address to 3,000 dele-
gates attending the UAHC's
general assembly, Rabbi Schin-
dler stressed that he was "not
speaking out against Orthodoxy
as such" and that he truly re-
spects "a more genuine Or-
thodoxy" than that of certain
spokesmen and considers it "es-
sential to Jewish life."
"I spoke out against a
politicized Orthodox establish-
ment that is interested only in
power ... that seeks to bolster
its waning authority with a
scornful, rigid exclusiveness."
Rabbi Schindler, in his ad-
dress, called upon the rabbinical
seminaries of Orthodox, Conser-
vative, and Reform Judaism to
launch a series of joint studies
"in the hope of evolving a
trans-denominational approach
to marriage and conversion."
In other convention news, Al-
bert Vorspan, director of the Re-
form Jewish movement's Com-
mission on Social Action and a
senior vice president the UAHC,
told delegates that the Jewish
community has a special inter-
est in opposing "extremist and
nativist voices clamouring for
the Christianizing of America."
In an address last weekend,
Vorspan charged that President
Reagan, Attorney General
Edwin Meese and others in the
Administration are promoting
the view that "wall of separa-
tion between church and state is
a quaint and irrelevant notion,"
advocating public prayer, aid to
parochial schools, and "equal ac-

.

cess" by religion to public
schools "even if that brings in
the Klan and the cults," trying
to ban abortion, and stating that
"only the anti-God forces talk
about such arcane matters as
the First Amendment."
Meanwhile, UAHC officials
reported a 23 percent rise in the
number of synagogue members
during the past ten years, bring-
ing the total to a record 1.3 mil-
lion.

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The United
States Army is now testing a
new computerized control unit
for a sophisticated mobile
weapon system developed by the

Kiryat Bialik, in the Haifa bay
area.

According
to
president Amotz Yavnai, the
unit prototype has already been
successfully tested, and if the
U.S. Army tests prove satisfac-

to order a large number of the

further details because of the
classified nature of the system.
