I mean, obviously, if our rabbis aren't rabbis and our converts aren't converts, then our Judaism isn't Judaism. Every Conser- vative and Reform Jew would see (passage of the law) as a slap in the face!' Yoffie also said the problem was not one confined to just Reform and Conservative Jews. It was also a problem, he said, for organizations such as the United Jewish Appeal and Jewish federa- tions, most of whose members are not associated with Orthodoxy. The UJA, the Council of Jewish Federations and United Israel Appeal recent- ly ran an ad in several Israeli papers to appeal to the Israeli public on the matter of "Who is a Jew;' said Frank Strauss, the Council's director of com- munications. The ad argued that "any change in the Law of Return would seriously threaten the relationship bet- ween Israel and American Jews" and urged that the issue not be treated as "political football;' he said. A spokesman for UJA said that during the next few weeks, as in the past, "there will be much communication" over the issue between leaders of the American Jewish community and Israeli leaders. He said his organization believed that Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Likud and Shimon Peres of Labor were both "very much aware of our con- cerns" but that the Israeli public needs to be made more so. Israelis who are religious- ly observant are almost ex- clusively Orthodox, and the Reform and Conservative movements in Israel have small congregations. The leaders of several American Orthodox organiza- tions, however, said they believed the Israeli public would side with them if it knew the facts about Reform and Conservative Judaism. As for the feeling of aliena- tion among Reform, Conser- vative and liberal Jews, one said it would be no tragedy if they distanced themselves from Israeli affairs and another suggested that, in some casese, it might even have a positive effect. Israelis would support amending the Law of-Return if they knew that the Reform movement permitted its rab- bis to perform intermar- riages, some with priests, said Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, president of the American af- filiate of Polei Agudat Yisrael, one of Israel's religious factions. Schonfeld also said that American Jews still haven't "learned the lesson of the Holocaust and Kristallnacht" — that they exist because of Israel "and not the other way around." He added that Jewish groups should not be in the "habit" of threatening Israel and that it would not be bad if some leaders chose to curtail their involvement "since they have harmed Israel enough over the years." On the "Who is a Jew" amendment, Schonfeld said that although he favors passage, religious factions The leader of one mainstream Orthodox organization said the issue should not be decided in the Knesset. "It is a religious issue and not a political issue." should hold off for the time being until they have educated Israel's public on the need for such legislation. Schonfeld said the four par- ties now have "a golden op- portunity" to establish a healing process in Israel and that the law should be amended "in a manner in which people understand why it has to be changed." Other Orthodox leaders said the law should be chang- ed immediately. Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky of the Lubavitch movement said he would see any delay as "an ostritch-like stance" to avoid dealing with an admittedly painful issue. He said the matter was "not a Lubavit- cher issue, as it's painted to be, but goes to the very essence of who a Jew is!' Likewise, Rabbi Herschel Kurzrock of the Rabbinical Alliance of America made clear that his organization favored immediate action on the issue. If some American Jews distanced themselves from Israel as a result, Kur- zrock said, "What can we do? So, they break away. What's right is right and, if we do what's right, God will help us!' Kurzrock said that those who want peace and harmony among the Jewish people should advocate "that things be done according to Jewish law." Reform and Conser- vative Jews, he said, do not practice Halachic Judaism. The leader of one mainstream Orthodox organization, Rabbi Ben- jamin Walfish, executive vice
