I HEALTH I AN APPEAL TO PRESERVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND JEWISH UNITY. TO: PRIME MINISTER YITZHAK SHAMIR FOREIGN MINISTER SHIMON PERES World Jewry looks to you for decisions that will take into consideration the best interests concerning the Jewish people. We recognize and appreciate the diligent and statesmanlike efforts you are making. We earnestly trust that you will succeed so that the people of Israel will have a government that is unified and that Jews in the Diaspora can avoid serious and irreparable damage to Jewish unity. At the 86th National Convention of the Zionist Organization of America, at which both of you gave us the privilege of your presence, the following resolution was adopted which confirms past positions recorded by the Zionist Organization of America. "Whereas the ZOA is on record in its support of religious pluralism: Whereas the continued reintroduction of the "Who is a Jew?" amendment by certain religious parties and their supporters is hurtful and divisive to Klal Yisrael and Jewish unity: Now therefore be it resolved that ZOA, the central and all-embracing movement of American Zionism including all religious streams of Judaism, celebrating its 90th anniversary in medinat Yisrael, reaffirms its opposition to any attempt to change the Law of Return as being inconsistent with the goal of our movement, which supports religious pluralism." On behalf of the leadership and membership of the ZOA, we express our confidence that decisions will be made so that this divisive issue will be resolved and the unity of the Jewish people preserved. Zionist Organization of America Milton S. Shapiro, president Rabbi M. Robert Syme, president (Metropolitan Detroit ZOA) The above text was sent via cable (Nov 28, 1988) to Prime Minister Shamir and Foreign Minister Peres.
