Repeat After Me... ckfaic, .4114/4/7 "Our passion for choice is rooted in Jewish law and ethics," Lenore Feldman, president of the National Council of Jewish Women, told a crowd estimated at 300,000. "It's very important for us to come out and say that all religious groups are not try- ing to obstruct the rights of other people," Joyce Lapin, coordinator of residential life at the Jewish Theological Seminary, said in an interview. "I have seen 513 anti- abortion proposals in 13 years, 152 of which have re- quired roll-call votes," Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D- Ohio) told a gathering • of Jewish marchers. "They are not giving up. Today their shrill voices will be drowned out by the sounds of our voices and the marching of our feet." Metzenbaum spoke at a pre- march briefing sponsored by the American Jewish Con- gress at the Sheraton Carlton Hotel here. More than 200 Jews, some from as far away as California, followed the AJCongress banner to join the throngs marching up Constitution Avenue to the rolling lawn of the Capitol. The demonstration surpass- ed some of the largest ever held in Washington, in- cluding the December 1987 solidarity march for Soviet Jewry, which drew 200,000. Forty-two rabbinical and cantorial students from the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Conservative rabbinical training institution, were among those who crowded in- to buses before dawn for the ride to Washington. Women's American ORT, a co-sponsor of the march, and the American Jewish Com- mittee sent contingents, as did synagogues from throughout the East. "Some of our opponents have claimed that choice is not a Jewish response," said Feldman of NCJW as the Capitol rotunda loomed be- hind her. "To those critics I say: Read the Talmud, the Jewish book of law. In Judaism, the mother's rights always come first." A number of Jewish organizations have joined in a amicus brief urging the Supreme Court not to over- turn the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, which declared a woman's choice to have an abortion a constitutionally protected right. 851-5566 Orchard Lk.
