The tragic death in New
York of Lisa Steinberg, the
six-year-old victim of ap-
parent child-beating, has
wrung the hearts of all of us.
It has made us aware of how
urgent is the need to
strengthen the capacities of
social service agencies and
the police to contain this
growing family violence
before it destroys more inno-
cent lives.
But there is one aspect of
this tragedy that needs to be
set straight before it gets out
of hand. It was reported that
Lisa was born of Catholic
parents and had "a Jewish
upbringing." Lisa indeed was
born of a Catholic mother.
The notion, however, that she
had a "Jewish upbringing" is
nothing less than scandalous.
The beatings and abuse
that this poor, lovely child suf-
fered at the hands of her
adoptive parents, who were
born Jewish, violates every
basic teaching of Judaism
about children. Anyone who
knows anything about the
Jewish religion and real
Jewish family life knows that
every child is sacred and cen-
tral in Judaism. The child in
Jewish tradition is the
highest of human treasures.
What her parents inflicted on
Lisa was savage, not Jewish.
Equally, the battering of
the woman in Lisa's
household, Hedda Nussbaum,
abuses every Jewish teaching
and feeling about the honored
place of a wife in the strong
Jewish family tradition.
"Husbands must honor their
wives more than themselves,"
the Talmud declares.
Beyond that, this is not a
Catholic-Jewish issue. It is a
terrible human tragedy. And
all of us should be doing
everything we can together to
try to prevent Lisa Steinbergs
and Hedda Nussbaums of
whatever religions and races
from ever happening again.
