rabbis talk to each other -
that's a no-no in this coun-
try," said Laderman, touch-
ing on one reason some Or-
thodox rabbis have been re-
luctant to join. Laderman
stressed that he does not
think he is compromising his
values or traditions by talk-
ing with Reform and Con-
servative colleagues.
"Our group gives a posi-
tive image to the world at
large and erases the notion
that only Levingers,
Kahanes and Peretzes are
running the Rabbinic world
in this country;" Rabbi
Forman explained.
He added that the press-
ing moral issues confronting
Israel on the West B ank have
united the three branches of
Judaism that frequently op-
pose one another.
"The imperative of the
day is that we are dealing
with those issues that unite
us and not those that divide
us, and I think that's a very
positive element, given the
fact that the country is so ter-
ribly divided," said Forman.
A recent trip to Nablus
and Beita, site of the attack
on hiking, settlers over a
year ago, was an eye-opener
for the 'RHRW rabbis who
traveled' there to monitor
medical facilities.
"One of the things that
happened was that before
we went into Nablus, we had
a discussion- about whether
we should wear kippot or
not," Lederman recalled.
"So, I was wearing a hat,
and when I got into Beita, I
took off my hat and had my
knitted kippah on, and I put
my hat on the head of one of
the Arab children. The vil-
lagers were besides them-
selves. Here I am, wearing a
knitted kippah, holding an
Arab child. Because then
they had gotten the message
that I was concerned about
their welfare."
Rabbi Jeremy Milgrom, a
Reform member of the
group, said these visits are
important learning situa-
tions where "you hope you
can in some way convince
them that in fact, what the
government is doing
through its soldiers and
sometimes the settlers, is
not reflective of A) Judaism
and B) all the people in Isra-
el."
For Rabbi Forman, a visit
to a home where the family
was in mourning reminded
him of his visits with Jews
in the Soviet Union.
"They recognize that we
are anshei shalom (people of
peace) as far as they're con-
cerned, and so we're received
very well."
During the visit to Al-
Ittihad hospital, attempts
were made to steer Lader-
man and the others solely

towards victims of clashes
with the IDF, but they
steadfastly refused. None-
theless, the visit to the hos-
pital and local clinics in the
area convinced Laderman
that health care is sorely
lacking.
"I'm not saying that Isra-
el is at fault for the lack of
medical coverage, but
somewhere there has to be
concern that people might
get sick or have a heart at-
tack - they need medical
attention. I don't know who
is responsible, and this may
seem like an overdrarnatiza-
tion, but there's too much
blood around," Rabbi
Laderman said.
He is just as concerned by
the Beita residents' ap-
parent boycott of Israeli
medicines.
Rabbi Forman claims that
the control of medications is
run by the Israeli au-
thorities, and that in places
like Salfit - an intifa-
da hot bed - the local clinic
has been closed down, leav-
ing a population of 10,000
without adequate medical
care.
"We say to ourselves: this
is something that is not re-
lated to security 'issues, this
is something that Jews can't
permit - it's impossible,"
he insisted.

These visits are
important learning
situations.

Criticism has been levelled
at the group for being one-
sided, and a rival group call-
ing itself the Rabbinical
Committee for the Victims
of the Intifada has been
established. • The group's
mainly right-wing rabbis
charge that RHRW members
are really only interested in
."another Palestinian state."
Rabbi Forman rejects such
criticism.
"When we went to Battir
and we heard about the
stone-throwing at Israeli
trains, we said: 'Don't throw
stones at the trains, damn
it.' " Victims of Arab terror
have been visited as well,
but Rabbi Forman said the
burden is heavier on the. Is-
raeli side. "Ninety-nine per-
cent of what Arabs tell you
is true; they don't have to
make it up anymore," he
said. "It depends on who
you quote from the sources,
that's what it really comes
down to. Do you quote
David the warrior or David
the psalmist? Do you deal
only with Joshua, or do you
deal with Amos as well? We
don't want to get into a bat-
tle of quotes. We want to
deal with the thrust of what
we believe is the spirit of
Jewish tradition."
