He agreed there is little dispute as to what con- stitutes blasphemy. He said Halachah forbids public degradation of the doctrines, symbols and rights of non- idolatrous religions, a classification which rabbinic sages have long applied to Christianity. In regard to pornography, he said, Jews should look to Jewish elders they respect for guidance in specific situations, or to the civil courts.

According to Halachah, any sexually ex- plicit material is por- nographic. Novak also rejected as "a fundamental error" the belief that the most liberal social standards are ipso fac- to Jewish. If the liberals de- fend Mapplethorpe's explicit photographs as art, Jews do not have to follow their ex- ample in the name of the battle against censorship, he said. For many such Jews, Novak declared, "art has become their religion." Novak, who describes himself as a traditional rabbi, severed his ties with the Rabbinical Assembly, the organization of Conser- vative rabbis. He is now co- ordinator of the Panel on Halachic Inquiry of the Union for Traditional Con- servative Judaism, an in- dependent organization that began as a response by some Conservative rabbis and scholars to what they con- sidered a theological left- ward drift in the Conser- vative movement. ❑ Instructor: Rabbi Rod Glogower, Rabbi of the Hillel Or- thodox Union and Adjunct Lecturer in Judaic Studies, University of Michigan.
