ANALYSIS YOU'RE COVERED With Our T-Shirt! Mayoral Race Continued from Page 10 bullet in New York," Orens- tein said. "The thrust. of Giuliani's last-minute surge, in all the news coverage, was the growing Jewish an- tipathy towards Dinkins that focused on Jesse Jackson. I believe that if Dinkins had lost after all that, we would have seen, particularly in New York but also in a broader way, a real crisis in black-Jewish relations. The black corn- munity, which had had its expectations raised, would have blamed Jews." Ann Lewis, a top political consultant who advised Jesse Jackson during last year's presidential cam- paign, argued against over- simplifying the dynamics of the Jewish vote. "It was a - good election for the Jewish community," she said. "It is a real mistake to think that the Jewish community votes on the basis of a single issue, like Jesse Jackson. This was a very complex election — and it was complicated by the special nature of New York politics." Regardless of how the Jewish vote is interpreted, David Dinkins will face con- siderable inter-group ten- sions when he starts his new job. "As mayor-elect, Dinkins has a daunting challenge ahead of him," said Michael Miller of the JCRC. "This city is divided racially and politically; the closeness of this race means the challenge is all the greater. If David Dinkins is to be suc- cessful as a 'healer,' he will have to bring all of us together." And part of that process, Miller observes, will be for Dinkins to deliver on the basic issues at the heart of New York politics — jobs, contracts and city services. "The Dinkins administra- tion offers many oppor- tunities for the Jewish com- munity. We can support this mayor — if the mayor sup- ports the Jewish community. Now he has to enlist the team to govern. Who will be appointed? Will services be enhanced? The Jewish com- munity will be watching very closely." 1=1 I NEWS I Council Picks Women Over Reform Choices Subscribe Today To The Jewish News And Receive A T-Shirt With Our Compliments!

CHILD SMALL 12 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 19a9 Tel Aviv (JTA) — Three women were nominated Sunday for places on the Tel Aviv religious council, once an all-male bastion. However, two male can- didates from the Reform movement were rejected, at a stormy meeting of the City Council. The vote was 16-12 against Reform Rabbi Moshe Zemer and Nissim Eldad, an at- torney. There was one abstention. The Reform candidates were supported by Tel Aviv Mayor Shlomo Lehat, who broke Likud party discipline by voting for them. Lehat said later that religious councils should represent all trends within the religious community. "I would even be in favor of representatives of the Christian and Moslem com- munities on a council aimed at dealing with religious matters," the mayor said. Religious councils are not religious bodies. They are set up in every municipality in Israel to administer matters connected with religious activity. Until recently, councils were totally dominated by the Orthodox establishment and refused to accept women, even if they were Orthodox. However, that tradition was broken, most recently with the naming of an Orthodox woman to the Jerusalem City Council, and by the precedent set by Lea Shakdiel, in the town of Yeroham. The three women nomi- nated Sunday in Tel Aviv are Esther Danon of Likud, Shoshana Glass of the Labor Party and Shulamit Elsheih of the Citizens Rights Movement. Danon and Glass got votes from the National Religious Party members of the City Council, but not Elsheih, probably because CRM is po- litically left of center. Their candidacy must now be ratified by the Chief Rab- binate and the Religious Af- Fa irc Mi n i stry El Al, Aeroflot To Fly Direct Jerusalem (JTA) — El Al and the Soviet airline Aeroflot will begin direct flights between Tel Aviv and Moscow in January, accor- ding to an El Al delegation that returned from the Soviet capital Sunday.
