Israelis Polled
On Judaism

New York — The vast ma-
jority of Israeli Jews view
American Jews as ardent sup-
porters of Israel, and believe
that a strong, committed
Jewish community in
America benefits Israel and
all Jews. Nonetheless, the
same majority expresses con-
cern that assimilation in the
United States poses a serious
threat to American Jewish
survival.
These trends are revealed
in a recent survey of Israeli
Jews, released by the
American Jewish Committee
simultaneously in New York
and Jerusalem.
On the issue of "Who is a
Jew," while 55 percent oppose
amending the law, only one-
third of those questioned said
that American Jews would be
justified in reassessing their
attitudes about Israel if the
law was amended to exclude
conversions by non-Orthodox
Diaspora rabbis.
As for their attachment to
Judaism, the Jewish people
and Israeli society, nearly
two-thirds of the respondents
said they "think of the Jewish
people as an extension of my
family" (64 percent), and
"think of Jewish society as an
extension of my family" (57
percent). But when asked to
choose between the two en-
tities, exactly half said their
"basic sense of identity and
commitment is to Israel and
Israelis rather than to Jews
and Judaism."
More than half believe that
"American Jews can lead a
fuller Jewish life in Israel
than in the United States."
(54 percent). Fewer said that
"Israelis can learn a great
deal from American Jewish
life." (37 percent).

Reagan Pledges
Pressure

Washington (JTA) —
President Reagan pledged
last Monday to continue
pressing the "plight of Soviet
Jews" in his meeting with
Soviet Foreign Minister
Eduard Shevardnadze and at
any summit meeting with
Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev.
In a letter read by Micah
Naftalin, Washington repre-
sentative of the Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews
(UCSJ) to the UCSJ's annual
meeting here, Reagan also
said. "Let me assure you that
I and the whole of my
Administration support the
continuation of the Jackson-
Vanik and Stevenson Amend-
ments and shall scrupulously

abide by their provisions."
Reagan's stress on support
of the legislation which links
trade with increased Jewish
emigration from the Soviet
Union was apparently in a
reply to a letter from Naftalin
and UCSJ president Pamela
Cohen expressing concern
about his nomination of C.
William Verity, Jr., as
Secretary of Commerce. Ver-
ity, a former steel company
executive, has expressed op-
position to Jackson-Vanik in
the past.

'Cabinet Able
To Make Peace'

Washington (JTA) — Moshe
Arad, Israel's new Am-
bassador to the United States,
rejected any suggestion Sept.
11 that Israel is incapable of
achieving progress toward a
Middle East peace settlement
because of the differences
over an international con-
ference between Premier Yit-
zhak Shamir and Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres.
"There is no difference of
opinion in our cabinet about
the necessity to move the
peace process forward," Arad
said in a speech to the Na-
tional Press Club, his first ap-
pearance before reporters
since coming to Washington
in July.
"And specifically there is no
difference of opinion concern-
ing the necessity of finding a
proper framework to bring
Jordan into face-to-face nego-
tions with Israel," he added.

Six Jews
At Botany Bay

New York — While
Americans continue to
celebrate the 200th anniver-
sary of the Constitution,
celebrations are only beginn-
ing down under in Australia
to commemorate that coun-
try's bicentennial, in 1988.
Two hundred years ago,
Australia was established as
a penal colony for British con-
victs. Six of those dispatched
to Australia's Botany Bay in
the first shipment of exiles
were Jewish, one of whom,
John Harris, went on to
become Australia's first
policeman.

Time Capsule

New York — President
Ronald Reagan, former Presi-
dent Richard Nixon and New
York Governor Mario Cuomo
were among the contributors
to a time capsule sealed Sept.
15 by Yeshiva University to
mark the institution's entry
into its second century.
