Hadassah's membership.
Although their main agen-
da is to support Hadassah
Hospital and youth aliyah,
Hadassah is nationally on
record supporting women's
right to reproductive
freedom, Breiner said.
However, she pointed out,
"this is not N.O.W. (National
Organization For Women). If
one comes on too heavy (with
certain issues) people say this
is not what this organization
is about."
Breiner views the current
debate as a right to vote
issue. "My feeling is that
even if you don't agree with
it, people should be able to
vote on it."
Schey believes that a ma-
jority in Michigan opposes
thr., ban and would vote to
restore medacaid abortions.
Without such a vote "you
have a minority group
holding a minority belief and
attempting to impose it on
the entire state."
Schey cited the precedent
that in "eleven states which
conducted refrenda where
choice or no choice was on the
ballot, the majority of voters
gave women the right of
choice."
But placing the issue on the
ballot does not guarantee
reversal of the legislation.
Rabbi Meilech Silberberg of
Bais Chabad of West Bloom-
field who was "elated that
they passed the law," said, "I
think if it's on the ballot they
are going to have a big
defeat." He attributed this
belief to what he sees as a
religious revival in America.
Opponents of the law call it
unfair for several reasons. It
makes no allowances except
to save the life of the mother.
No stipulations exist for vic-
tims of rape and incest,
women with serious health
problems or carriers of a fatal
disease such as AIDS. Addi-
tionally, it amounts to
economic discrimination,
Schey said. "It is unfair to
deny women the right to
make a choice based on
economic reasons."
In
contrast,
Rabbi
Silberberg sees no such
discrimination. "The fact
that the rich can do it should
not be license for the poor.
The wealthy can (also) afford
to get cocaine."
Schey sees the law as the
first step in the "Right To
Life" movement's ultimate
agenda of denying reproduc-
tive choice to all women and
to reverse the 1973 Roe vs.
Wade Supreme Court deci-
sion legalizing abortion. "The
folks who launched the in-
itiative want to start with the
poor, the weak, the
vunerable," she said.
Rabbi Silberberg said, "The
issue here is not an issue of
what's more logical.
Maimonides tells us in no
uncertain terms that it's
murder. The Torah gives us
an absolute system of morali-
ty. It's immoral because God
has said it's immoral."
However, Rabbi Lane Ste-
inger of Temple Emanu-El in
Oak Park, a member of the
Michigan Religious Coalition
For Abortion Rights, says
Jewish law allows room for
discussion. With the excep-
tions of murder, sexual im-
propriety, and idolatry, he
"It is unfair to
deny women the
right to make a
choice based on
economic
reasons."
said "there can be two broad
positions: Machmir and
Mekil."
In the case of abortion, Ste-
inger said, the strict inter-
pretation, Machmir, would
dictate that it is "only per-
missible if the woman's
physical existence is in ques-
tion." The lenient interpreta-
tion, Mekil, would permit
abortion for the sake of the
woman's physical and emo-
tional well-being.
Rabbi Steinger said Reform
Judaism's position holds that
"a woman and her physician
are the best authorities regar-
ding what's good for her."

ticipation of increased im-
migration. That allocation
was based on a projected 40
Soviet arrivals. Due to the
upward projection, Lerner
has requested extra
budgeting from Federation.
The Federation's Community
Services Division has not
begun deliberations on the re-
quest, one Federation source
said. "We're not likely to find
ourselves inundated," he
said.
The new wave of immigra-
tion will differ from the last
wave in the late 1970s, which
brought over 2,000 Soviet
Jews to Detroit. Most of those
Jews had no family in the

expected to arrive now have
family in the area, a factor ex-
pected to aid their absorption.

translators and drivers,
Lerner emphasized.
