Twelve Mile Road, Southfield, MI 48076 70 Friday, August 22, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS INSIGHT Conservative Jewish organ- izations feared Meyer's out- spoken, anti-military posi- tions and denied him support. They argued that the safety of the Jewish community would be threatened if Jews took a strong, anti- government stance. During his 25 years in Argentina, Meyer injected a certain dynamism into the stagnant Argentine Jewish community. But it takes more than one man to march against apathy. Meyer's charisma sparked the interest of up to two thousand fami- lies. By training a new breed of rabbis at the seminary, he will eventually reach more. The two young rabbis who have taken over Meyer's posi- tion at Bet El continue to draw large crowds of teen- agers to their Friday night services. But, said Rabbi Mordechai Levin, "Parents refuse to send their children to Sunday school. They con- sider it a waste of time. We have had to reduce the prep- aration for bar mitzvah to one class a week for six months to accommodate their other ac- tivities." Youthful enthusiasm at Bet El, the new Reform temple, and the seminary are excep- tions to the norm. Of almost 90,000 Jewish youths, 10 per- cent belong to a Jewish com- munal institution. But most of these are sports clubs that have a social rather than a religious or intellectual function. It is no coincidence that Jews active in, the Alfonsin government are relatively secular. Religious Jews are generally not among them because they are not inter- ested in politics. Thus, politically active Jews usual- ly have a tendency to assimi- late—or have already done so. With Alfonsin's govern- ment receptive to the Jewish community, the time seems ripe for Argentine Jews to regain their pride in their heritage. And to transmit this pride to their children. This can only be achieved by de- voting more resources to Jewish education. And how has Alfonsin demonstrated his apprecia- tion of the Jews? One of his first actions as president was to appoint Rabbi Meyer to a National Committee on the Disappeared that was man- dated to gather data on the atrocities that occurred under the military regime. Alfonsin and most of his cabinet re- cently attended the 50th an- niversary celebration dinner of the DATA. The president has also appointed Jews to key positions in finance, banking, economics and the Supreme court. He permitted the small Lubavitcher com- munity to erect an enormous Chanukah menorah in a fash- ionable residential neighbor- hood of Buenos Aires. He is talking about a constitutional reform, which, among other things, will open the presiden- cy to non-Catholics. And his government has also intro- duced courses on human rights into the public educa- tion system. It is possible that the sud- den high profile of Argentine Jewry will initially lead to more anti-Semitism, either out of jealousy or because in- volvement in Argentine eco- nomic policy is thankless and often leads to failure, and failure begets scapegoats. Jews can combat such anti- Semitism by combining a strong Jewish identity with loyalty to their country. Eventually, the combination of a government that tries to educate its poeple to be more tolerant and Jews who are proud of their heritage and loyal to Argentina may foster greater respect for Argentine Jews. And this, in turn, will nurture Jews' own self- respect. ❑ Jewish Sites In East Germany To Be Restored East Berlin (JTA) — Of- ficial East German media outlets have publicized restor- ation efforts for a former synagogue and a Jewish cemetery ravaged by the Nazis in the late 1930's, the World Jewish Congress reported here recently. The East German News Agency said the synagogue on Berlin's Orienburger street, which was set on fire by the Nazis during the Kristallnacht anti-Jewish rampage of 1938, is to be rebuilt on the basis of the ex- isting structure. The recon- struction project is to be in line with the original build- ing. The press department of the Ministry of Foreign Af- fairs reported the reopening of the Adas Yisroel cemetery in Berlin. "Members of the Jewish communities in the German Democratic Republic and descendants of members of this community, blotted out by the Nazis in 1939, . from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Great Bri- tain, Israel, Sweden, Switzer- land, the United States and West Berlin took part in the ceremony," the Foreign Ministry said. A memorial stone was in- augurated bearing the names of Jews killed in concentra- tion camps whose urns were installed in the cemetery be- tween 1939 and 1942.
