`Jew' Definition
Gets Explanation

London (JTA) — The next
edition off the Concise Oxford
Dictionary will continue to
carry an offensive definition
of "Jew," but it will add an ex-
planation in precise terms
why it is considered offensive.
S.K. Tulloch, the dic-
tionary's senior assistant
editor, gave that assurance in
a letter responding to re-
presentatives from the Coun-
cil of Christians and Jews.
The dictionary contains two
definition of "Jew!' One is
"person of Hebrew descent;
person whose religion is
Judaism . ."
The second definition is a
"person who drives hard
bargains, usurer . ."
Tulloch pointed out that the
current edition describes the
definition as "derogatory,"
and marks it "R" for "racial-
ly offensive!'
The next edition, she said,
would explain that the offen-
sive definition "arose from
historical associations of Jews
as moneylenders in medieval
England!'
But according to Tulloch,
there are no grounds to
remove the offending defini-
tion from the dictionary.
Dictionaries, she told the
council's director, Canon Jim
Richardson, "try to record the
language as it is used, not as
we (or someone else) would
like it to be used."
She agreed the definition
Richardson complained about
was offensive, "but that is not
grounds for omitting it." Nor
does its inclusion "imply that
we condone its use in this
sense," she said.

Agency Official
Blasts Israel

Jerusalem (JTA) — A
Jewish Agency official ac-
cused the government last
week of failing to provide the
basic needs of new im-
migrants, and said that both
the establishment and Israeli
society "torture" the im-
migrants and only pay lip ser-
vice to the idea of immigra-
tion.
Uri Gordon, who heads the
agency's immigration and ab-
sorption department, said the
government has failed to im-
plement the agreement it
signed with the agency last
year to take over the absorp-
tion machinery.
Gordon cited the long wait
for housing and employment
the 13,000 immigrants who
arrived in Israel last year had
to endure.
