THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Tikkun

place where ideas could be
generated, because there was a
poverty of ideas in the pro-
gressive world and no critical
mass of people for action. At
that point we came up with the
idea for a forum for the exchange
of ideas and enrichment of
thought in the progressive
world."
They deCided' to go with a
Jewish orientation not only
because of their own religious
faith, but because, in Lerner's
words, "Judaism has a lot to
teach liberals and progressives
— there's a wealth of knowledge
and wisdom based on the fact
the Jews have been in the
vanguard against oppression for
3,500 years."
. The decision to publish a
magazine came in September,
and seven months later they
have the premiere issue in hand,
a 128-page issue containing the
works of more than two dozen
writers, the overwhelming ma-
jority of whom are Jewish. Ar-
ticles include the following:
—!'What's Wrong With the
Right?", which takes the posi-
tion that conservatives' eco-
nomic and social values conflict
with each other, by Christopher
Lasch, author of The Culture of
Narcissism and history depart-
ment chairman at the Universi-
ty of Rochester in New York.
The first English-language
translation of a work by Israeli
poet Yehudah Amichai, by
writer and translator Stephen
Mitchell.
"Politics and Anger," and ex-
position on how legitimate anger
about the Holocaust can be
manipulated in right-wing direc-
tions, by Anne Roiphe, a New
York author.
—"Sodom as Nexus," a new in-
terpretation of the biblical story,
by Robert Alter, a leading
American bible scholar and pro-
fessor of comparative literature
and Near Eastern studies at the
University of California at
Berkeley.
"L- A New Anti-Nuclear Strat-
egy," by Arthur Waskow, direc-
tor of the Shalom Center in
Philadelphia.
—A film review of the movie,
"Shoah", by Eli Zaretsky, a
history professor at the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbus.
—A symposium entitled,
"What Kind of Tikkun Does the
World Need?", which includes
among its 10 essays expositions
on Judaism and feminism by
Rabbi Laura Geller, director of
the Hillel Center at the Univer-
sity of Southern California; and
T. Drorah Setel, a Jewish fem-
inist scholar living in Los
Angeles.
All of the authors named
above, except Lasch and Mitch-
ell, serve on the editorial board.
Other editorial board members
include David Hartman, of The
Hartman Institute in Jeru-
salem; leading bible scholar Uri
Simon of Bar Ilan University in
Israel; Stanley Sheinbaum, a
University of California regent;
and Rabbi Gerald Serotta,
founder of the leftist political
org6nization, New Jewish
Agenda:
Although other Jewish mag-
azines — Moment, Present
Tense, Sh'ma — are considered
liberal or progressive, those
questioned said that no one of
these magazines contains the
circulation size, breadth of scope
to include non-Jewish issues and
intellectual caliber to be a
serious challenger to Corn-
mentary.
Lerner called Moment and
Present Tense "brother and
sister" magazines, but he em-
phasized that Tikkun is distinct
from its siblings.
Commentary's Podhoretz
declined comment on the chal-
lenge to him from across the
country. His secretary, Roseann
Korsa, said, "He hasn't seen the
publication."
Protest Against
Hate Group
Toronto (JTA) — Church
organizations and anti-
discrimination groups in Cal-
gary, Alberta, have formed a
coalition to fight a planned
incursion into the province of
Alberta by the "Aryan Na-
tions," a violence-prone white
supremacist and anti-Jewish
organization.
"All have experienced a
sense of outrage in our com-
munity over this issue," said
Harold Joffe, an officer-of the
Canadian Jewish Congress
and chairman of Calgary's
Citizens Against Racial and
Religious Discrimination.
Leading Canadian news-
papers have also strongly de-
nounced the group and its
leader, Terry Long, and
urged that the organization
not be permitted into Al-
berta.
Graves Are
Desecrated
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
graves of several Zionist
founders of the State of Israel
at Mount Herzl National
Cemetary were recently de-
secrated. Slogans denouncing
archaeological excavations in
the Negev, at a site where
there are alleged to be an-
cient Jewish graves, were
daubed on the tombstones of
Theodor Herzl, Zalman
Shazar, Levi Eshkol, Golda
Meir and Zeev Jabotinsky.
The slogans were signed
"Keshet," a group suspected
by the police to consist of
ultra-Orthodox zealots. The
identity of the members are
not known. Keshet also
claimed responsibility for
three previous incidents of
desecration.
