They serve as an instrument of the organized Jewish com- munity, as they did when large numbers of Russian Jews needed help settling in America. They offer a safety net should America one day prove less hospitable to Jews than it is now. Finally, one federation offi- cial points out, there's no rea- son to dissolve Jewish hospi- tals; they cost the Jewish community so little. "Why a Jewish hospital?" asks St. Louis' DAvid Gee rhetorically. "Why not a Jewish hospital?" Feeble rationalizations for an institutionally empty form that has outlived its useful- ness? Perfunctory justifica- tions deficient in passion and urgency? Certainly, Jewish hospitals grew out of a time, a world, far different from our own. "The poor among us shall not be- come a burden to the (Dutch East India) Company or to the community, but be supported by our own nation," the Jewish community of New Amster- dam promised governor Peter Stuyvesant in 1654. Jews take care of their own, was the mes- sage. And Jews have been tak- ing care of their own in America ever since, as they had back in Europe, where evi- dence of inns for traveling Jews taken sick go back to the 14th and 15th Centuries.

It was a time of confusion and un- certainty, of neighborhoods= changing overnight. And re- peatedly, to hear Foreman tell it, the issue would come up, in- variably sparking loud debate: Here were these horrendously expensive teaching facilities and big emergency rooms, someone would point out, yet relatively few of those benefitt- ing from them were Jews. Why, then, was the Jewish community sponsoring them? "There are people who need services," would come the re- ply. "But they're not Jewish." Hesitantly at first, but then with greater unaniminity and conviction, the response to that argument emerged: "It doesn't matter." The way Foreman recon- structs it, they were saying • that Jews were part of the larger community now, and that they bore responsibility_ not just for themselves.
