man." According to both sides
in the dialogue, Turteltaub
assured Rubin that there was
no intention, at this time, to
have Jackie Fisher marry
Maddie Pierce on "Chicken
Soup," and that as a matter of
fact, the two actors will
discuss the differences in
their religions as a major
stumbling block to not ex-
changing wedding vows.
Preceding the taping of the
show, the JDL contingent was
further pleased when Jackie
Mason welcomed the
organization by name and
complimented it on its
defense of Jewish rights. That
done, the three-hour taping
went off without an incident
and afterwards all hands
agreed that "Chicken Soup"
was going to be very funny,
indeed.
Not that Rubin has given
up entirely. He promised to
meet again with Turteltaub
to press his thesis that
America is ready for an all-
Jewish TV sitcom, just as the
country has accepted the all-
black "The Cosby Show" and
"Sankird and Sons."
Turteltaub responded to a
reporter that while Rubin's
idea was an interesting one,
"it wouldn't be our show, it
wouldn't be 'Chicken
Soup? "

Reich Named
President

New York (JTA) — Adding
a third title to his list of lea-
dership positions in the
worldwide Jewish communi-
ty, Seymour Reich has been
named the chairman of the
International Jewish Com-
mittee for Religious Consul-
tations, the Jewish group
designed to carry on dia-
logue with the Vatican.
Reich is also currently the
president of B'nai B'rith In-
ternational as well as the
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations.
Reich said his first priority
as president is to convince
the Jewish agencies who
have formed an IJCIC alter-
native to rejoin to the group.
The American Jewish
Committee, the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith and the American
Jewish Congress announced
on Wednesday that they
were forming their own
"cooperative effort to further
understanding and commu-
nication between the Jewish
community and interna-
tional Christian bodies."
