"I don't know if the
assembly ever functioned
that way," Cohan responds.
"It would be like convening a
constitutional convention for
every issue. Should the
assembly be abolished, or re-
main a forum [where promi-
nent speakers address local
Jews)? That's what the task
force is going to decide."
Lachman offers a second
critique: "I am a delegate to
the Jewish Community Coun-
cil. Who are my fellow
delegates? I don't know. The
Council does not publish a
list. How can there be a
discussion among delegates
when we don't know who each
other are?"
Cohan agrees that a
delegate list is a good idea,
adding that it is not by Coun-
cil policy that one is not in
circulation.
While critics call for reform
of the assembly, Council of-
ficers and staff point out that
the Council's informal com-
mittee structure is an ex-
cellent vehicle for discussion
and formulation of policy. Any
interested delegate can be ap-
pointed to a committee,
Cohan notes.
Kushner suggests that
regular polling would further
democratize the Council's
decision making. "I'd like to
invest money in polling three
times a year, to find out
where the Jewish community
stands."
Would not a still more
democratic mechanism be a
one-person, one-vote struc-
ture; a view that the com-
munity is comprised of in-
dividuals rather than
organizations with overlapp-
ing memberships? According
to Kushner, by adding up the
names on Jewish organiza-
tions' membership rolls, one
would find a total of 423,000
local Jews, almost seven
times the actual Jewish
population.
Would not the Council be
truly representative of the
Jewish community if it was a
participatory democracy?
Kushner smiles at the sug-
gestion as he dismisses it:
"Conceptually, you're right.
But organizationally, it can't
function."
Adds Cohan: "It's an idea
I'm very interested in, but I
don't think it would be
adopted."
The Council is not the only
organization in town fighting
anti-Semitism, supporting
Israel and working for better
understanding between Jews
and non-Jews. The Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith, the American Jewish
Committee and American
Jewish Congress all do
