"Unfortunately," she said, "I have worked with many young couples (wishing to in- termarry) who are in agony, who ultimately are not secular Jews, who really belong in the theistic Jewish community, who have come to us because they have been refused by every other stream in Jewish life here in Detroit. We have reached out and helped them to celebrate their marriage and to acknowledge their Jewish identity at this important time, and kept them open to that identity." "While speaking to one young man who I realized would really have preferred a traditional Jewish wedding," Jerris said, "I asked him if he had spoken to anyone else in the community, and his response was, 'After what I've heard from the rabbis in this. community, I wouldn't let them bury me, let alone marry me,' That was really distressing to me, because he would have been lost to us?' Jerris explained that a Humanistic Jew considers a Jew to be anyone who con- siders him or herself a Jew. The panelists agreed that the acceptance of religious plurality, both in the United States and in Israel, is vital to creating a more inclusive Jewish community. The Humanist movement is in- volved with Chemdot, a coali- tion of Conservative, Reform and Humanistic Jews in Israel who are working to fur- ther the acceptance of religious pluralism there. Anti-semitism, the panelists agreed, may force Jews who do not practice their faith the same way to share the same fate. "Mengele, when he was mak- ing his selections, didn't ask if you were Orthodox or Reform," Gitelman said. Each movement has made a place in its service for a prayer for the State of Israel, although Gitelman qualified the Orthodox position by say- ing that some see the state as, at best, a haven for the op- pressed. He added that Or- thodoxy is by no means a homogeneous sect, and criticized the reluctance of Orthodox rabbis to recognize the Dec. 6 Soviet Jewry rally in Washington because of con- cerns such as women singing in public. "This is a perfect example of a failure to recognize that which is crucial, that which is vital and that which is secondary," he said. Several of the speakers mentioned the need to educate Jewish children Judaically as a common con- cern, and there was a consen- sus that the Jewish communi- ty is reducing its concern about civil, social and human rights issues, with the excep- tion of Soviet 'Jewry. A com- mon history, sense of moral ethics and memory of the Holocaust were other things cited as bonding the movements together. Jerris hopes her children will one day share with the children of all other Jews "a concern and respect for the dignity of all Jews, a committ- ment to the State of Israel, a feeling of pride toward their heritage, and a respect for the rights of Jews to express their identities in a way which is meaningful and significant to them." Gitelman stressed that the Jewish population as a whole must not become so inwardly critical that it forgets to con- cern itself with the plight of others, both Jew and non-Jew, who are oppressed and deserve to be liberated. Discussion moderator Lauren Liss said after the meeting that she received only positive feedback from the nearly 200 audience members. "I would like to see this be the beginning of more discussion between the com- munities and a start toward working together on our com- mon goals," she commented, adding that this was the first time locally a member of the secular movement had sat in discussion with the other Jewish movements in an event of this kind. Audience member Annette Chajes commented that each of the four panelists were moderates within their move- ment. She credited their open-mindedness with mak- ing the discussion possible. Education Needs Continued from Page 5 tion at all levels. We are anx- ious to pursue cooperative ef- forts with temples and synagogues." He stressed that Federation was not interested in opening other schools under its auspices. The committee will attempt to find an educational model best suited to meet Detroit Jewry's needs through "am- ple use of consultants and consultation with various rabbinical groups," a c cording to Dr. Giles. He said he hoped the study committee would present its plan within the next 12 to 18 months. Was he frustrated by the
