Sunday mornings, I don't think
Israelis, in a Jewish state,
should get upset over closed
theatres on Friday nights.
The
increased
political
strength of the religious com-
munity in Israel alarms sec-
ularists who wish to preserve
their power. This strength, un-
fortunately, has encouraged
religious activists to use it at
every opportunity. This has
been counterproductive, since
many non-observant Israelis are
not die-haid anti-religious sec-
ularists, and they have positive
feelings about being Jews. They
should be encouraged, as all
Jews should be, to try to be the
best Jews possible. Exploiting
their positive Jewish feelings
will bring more Jews to do
Tshuvah (return to religious ob-
servance) than all the screaming
and yelling in the world.
However, it cannot be stressed
strongly enough that the obser-
vant community is only reacting
to decades of secular domination
of Israeli life. They have seen
the results of secularism in
terms of social ills in Israel and
assimilation in the diaspora.
They wish to use Israeli democ-
racy to maintain the Jewish
character of Israel. The goal of
Zionism should be a Jewish
State, not a Hebrew-speaking
copy of western gentile culture.
With God's help, cool heads
will prevail. As Jews we must
be unified before God. We can't
afford the luxury of schism. Our
enemies surely rejoice at our
discord.

Rabbi Sees 'New
Partnership'
Of Blacks, Jews

Baltimore (JTA) — A new and
mature partnership between
Blacks and Jews is being forged
at the local level, far from the
harsh and often divisive glare of
national media attention, Rabbi
James Rudin of the American
Jewish Committee told the an-
nual convention of the National
Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People meeting
here last week.
Rudin, the AJC's interre-
ligious affairs director, said,
"While the old coalition of the
1960s is over, Blacks and Jews
in many American cities are to-
day creating a new reality.
lbgether they are actively
engaged in many crucial issues,
including human rights, quality
education, economic opportun-
ity, full and fair employment,
and the countering of South
African apartheid, political ex-
tremism, racism and anti-
Semitism:'.
The AJC leader, a founder of
the national interreligious task
force on Black-Jewish relations,
cited the Black-Jewish coalitions
in Atlanta and Washington as
examples of the "new reality?' In
both cities, Rudin said, the AJC
and NAACP play key/ roles in
"these constructive model pro-
grams."
