FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1987

Asked what stream of
Judaism he subscribed to,
Dennis Prager used to
describe himself as "Reser-
vadox."
For a non-Orthodox Jew
committed to God and obser-
vance, he considered labels an
insult.
Today, though, the author,
Los Angeles television per-
sonality and "moralist" sees
the real division in Jewish life
as between "serious Jews and
non-serious Jews."
"A serious Jew," he told 200
women at the annual Jewish
Welfare Federation Women's
Division Institute last week,
"is committed to the Jewish
`trinity': God Ibrah and Israel
— God, law and peoplehood.
lb drop any one of them is not
authentically Jewish."
Prager is the author of The
Nine Questions People Ask
About Judaism, the book
credited by former Russian
refusenik Leonid Feldman
with starting him on the
journey toward self-discovery
as a practicing Jew. Rabbi
Feldman was in Detroit on a
speaking tour last week.
The most significant Jewish
question, says Prager, is
"Why survive?" "Judaism
doesn't give reasons for being
Jewish. It tells us how to sur-
vive, but we don't learn why.
For Jews raised before World
War II, a basic attitude
toward being Jewish was in-
herited from generations
before: you knew you'd be
born Jewish, marry Jewish
and die Jewish.
"Since World War II, being
born Jewish is an interesting
fact of life, but not deter-
minative. Being born Jewish
doesn't suffice. We must make
the case for Jewish life."

He doesn't view anti-
Semitism as a problem for
Jews in the free world. Fur-
ther, "Jews for Jesus is
demographically irrelevant.
`Jews for Nothing' is the pro-
blem." Prager said Jews have
an obligation to teach ethical
values to the world. "And
morality can't survive the
`death' of God and religion!'
He believes Jews should
"teach the world to take care
of their own . . . As a Jew, I ac-
tively supported efforts for
the Afghan people. But my
primary avenue of concern is
Jews . . .
"My good, idealistic, secular
friends from college in the
'60s, what are they doing for
humanity now? Nothing. We
provincials (who fought for
Jewish causes in particular)
are still fighting for both Jews
and humanity."

No One Could
Name That Mine

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The army
radio's version of the
American game show "Name
That Tune" produced no win-
ners after 40 days, so Otzhar
Lehayal, the Soldiers Bank
which sponsored it, has decid-
ed to donate the mounting
$3,000 prize to a scholrship
fund for demobilized soldiers.
True, only the opening bar
was played each day, lasting
about a second. But the
thousands of contestants
unable to identify the music
seem to have cause to cry foul.
The tune chosen could not
have been more obscure.
It was the theme music
written by the Greek com-
poser Mikis Theodorakis for
the Michael Kacoyannis film
The Day The Fish Came Out.
