objective is not the resolution
of theological issues or na-
tional or international
disputes," says George Siegel,
UJA/JCA board member.
"Those issues are not rele-
vant. It's the local Jewish ac-
tivities that we deal with that
are important."
Several board members
point out that the real issue
should focus on programs, not
organizations. "I think we
should not fund organizations
that don't support pluralism,"
explains board member Ar-
mand Luaffer. "However, I'm
very comfortable in funding
local programs that serve
Jews in need even if they are
conducted by local organiza-
tions whose national
organization doesn't support
pluralism."
For the past dozen years or
so, Chabad has requested and
received funds from the UJA.
For fiscal year 1990, the UJA
allocated money for four
Chabad programs including
Lag B'Omer picnics, a Milan
Prison project and the Corn-
munity Festive Meals pro-
gram. They denied requests
to fund the Dial a Jewish
Story program and the Torah
Thought weekly mailing. The
UJA allocation to Chabad —
which totaled $1,500 —
represented a 67 percent in-
crease over last year.
That's $1,500 too much for
Rabbi Robert Levy of Temple
Beth Emeth. This year Levy,
who's an ex-officio member of
the UJA board, asked that it
not allocate funds to Chabad.
"I'm opposed to Chabad
receiving such funds until
such time that they stop their
vigilant efforts to amend the
Law of Return in Israel," Levy
says.
Beth Emeth board presi-
dent Steve Rhodes adds that
the principle reason he's op-
posed to Chabad receiving
funds revolves around what
he calls the fierce anti-Reform
and anti-Conservative ac-
tivities of the Lubavitch
movement. But he also has a
practical reason fgr his op-
position. "I think that many
people feel this way and it
discourages gift giving to the
UJA."
What type of support
Reform Jews give Chabad is
not merely a local or
theoretical issue. Nationally,
Chabad receives considerable
financial support from non-
Orthodox Jews.
Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, ex-
ecutive director of the
Association of Reform
Zionists of America, based in
New York City, says that
within his own organization
there has been a diversity of
opinion about whether or not
Chabad should receive funds.

"Some believe that in view of
their hostility (to Reform
Jews) we shouldn't give them
any money; others don't feel
that way."
Although ARZA has for-
mally decided to act solely as
an information source regar-
ding the issue, Yoffie has gone
public in explaining his own
position. "I don't hesitate to
tell people personally, that
national Chabad shouldn't
receive funds from Reform
Jews." Rabbi Yoffie cites
Chabad's hostility to Reform
Judaism in Israel, referring to
their explicit role in pushing
for the amendment of the
Law of Return and for their
lack of fiscal accountability
(at the national and overseas
level).
"There has been much
discussion of the worthy pro-
grams offered by Lubavitch in
the United States and around

"Some believe that
in view of their
hostility (to Reform
Jews) we shouldn't
give them any
money; others don't
feel that way."

the world and there is no
reason why Lubavitch should
be denied credit for these
endeavors," Rabbi Yoffie ex-
plains. "Yet in any discussion
of Lubavitch, American Jews
are entitled to the complete
picture of Chabad's beliefs
and practices and to an ac-
counting of the dangers
Lubavitch poses to Jewish
unity and communal
strength."
Rabbi Yoffie says he isn't
against local Chabad houses
receiving funds for outreach
programs, given certain con-
straints. "But not everyone
feels that way."
Rabbi Aharon Goldstein of
the Ann Arbor Chabad House
argues that the real issue is
whether or not needy Jews
should be held ransom
because of factional disputes.
"We are doing a service. We
don't expect the community's
thanks but we don't see why
we should be denied. There's
no reason a Jew in Milan
Prison should be deprived
because of certain political
problems happening in
Israel."
Goldstein discounts the
suggestion that more than a
few community members
have problems supporting the
UJA because of Chabad's ac-
tivities in Israel. People in-
volved with the Campaign
agree that Goldstein has been
