B'nai B'rith Women, Men
Set Stage For Dialogue

New York (JTA) — After
months of organizational in-
fighting between the world's
largest Jewish organization
and its women's affiliate,
B'nai B'rith leaders seem to
be reaching out, but even
those attempts are marred
by controversy.
B'nai B'rith International
officials have called for a
meeting with B'nai B'rith
Women leadership to discuss
"the confusion" between the
sibling organizations. But
the structure and content of
those talks have become a
new source of conflict.
In a letter March 5 to Hyla
Lipsky, president of BBW,
BBI President Seymour
Reich called for a meeting to
"discuss the future of B'nai
B'rith and your organization
and how we might minimize
the confusion among our
members and in the Jewish
community."
But Lipsky was not
satisfied with the com-
munication. "His letter to
me was very terse. I feel that
`minimizing confusion'
doesn't really address the
issues that brought us to this
point," she said in a phone
interview.
Lipsky responded to the
BBI initiative via a March 8
press release, in which she
expressed her pleasure "to
take part in such talks," but
also stated concern over "the
scope and format of the
meeting Reich has proposed.
"In his letter, he stated
limited parameters for our
conversations — looking not
to heal the distressful rift

between us, but only to deal
with a painful separation
which the B'nai B'rith
International Board of Gov-
ernors has attempted to im-
pose. B'nai B'rith Women
has a broader agenda for
such a dialogue," she said in
the release.
"I am not sure," said Reich
in a letter March 9 to Lip-
sky, "why you think that
this proposal limits the
parameters of our meeting. I
am willing to discuss any
and all of the issues that
divide us."
The exchange of letters
represented the first com-
munication between the two
leaders since a Dec. 3 BBI
resolution gave the women's
group 14 days to rescind an
October 1988 resolution that
declared BBW a "separate,
independent, autonomous
organization."

That resolution added fuel
to an already simmering
feud between the groups.
Beside the agenda of the
proposed meeting, Lipsky
and Reich disagree on who
should participate. Reich
has expressed a desire to in-
clude Philip Klutznick,
honorary president of B'nai
B'rith and a former secre-
tary of commerce, in the
negotiations.
Lipsky has misgivings.
"The issue is not only to sit
down with Mr. Reich," she
said. "I think an impartial
third party is important,
someone who has not been
intimately involved in the
conflict."

Editor of Yiddish Paper
Nabbed For Extortion

New York (JTA) — The
editor of a weekly Hebrew
newspaper in Brooklyn was
arrested Feb. 25 for what
appeared to be the act of ex-
torting money from an offi-
cial of the Satmar Hasidic
community, in exchange for
not printing derogatory ar-
ticles about the Satmar
rebbe.
Chaim Shaulson, editor of
Panim Hadashot ("New
Faces"), was arrested leav-
ing the Williamsburg
apartment of Rabbi Moshe
Friedman, the secretary to
the Satmar rebbe. Shaulson
allegedly was carrying
$1,500 in cash and a signed
contract in his pocket when
apprehended.
Friedman had secretly co-

operated with Yiddish-
speaking investigators from
the Brooklyn district at-
torney's office, who waited
for Shaulson in a van outside
Friedman's home.
Shaulson was arraigned in
Brooklyn Criminal Court on
grand larceny charges.
Friedman complained that
Shaulson "did agree to
refrain from publishing
shameful information in the
defendant's newspaper in
exchange for $50,000, and
did take from informant" a
sum of money "in excess of
$1,000 as the first install-
ment payment."
Judge Stephen Rooney
released him on his own
recognizance, but ordered
Shaulson, an Israeli native,
