FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1990
New York (JTA) — Want
to know what the American
Jewish community thinks on
issues ranging from German
reunification to reproductive
choice?
The answers can probably
be found in this year's edi-
tion of one of the lesser-
known but highly useful
tools for reading the political
mind of the American Jew-
ish community: the Joint
Program Plan of the Nation-
al Jewish Community Rela-
tions Advisory Council.
The positions outlined in
the 1990-91 Joint Program
Plan, which was released
last week, have evolved
throughout the year in a
series of meetings of Jewish
community relations profes-
sionals and lay leaders,
which climaxes each
February in the annual
NJCRAC plenum.
At the plenum, held in
Phoenix this year, represen-
tatives of the 13 national
Jewish agencies and 117
local community relations
councils that belong to
NJCRAC debate, argue and
eventually hammer out as
close to a consensus position
as it is possible to achieve in
the Jewish community.
The organization's leaders
say that what emerges from
each year's laborious process
of debate and compromise is
an accurate picture of where
the American Jewish com-
munity stands on domestic
and overseas issues, which
can be used as a guide for
those in the Jewish com-
munity relations field.
"Polls have indicated that
the positions outlined in the
Joint Program Plan are
reflective of the U.S. Jewish
community," Lawrence
Rubin, executive vice chair
of NJCRAC, said at a news
conference releasing the
1990-91 Joint Program Plan.
New issues tackled in this
year's edition include Ger-
man reunification and the
issue of democracy and
pluralism in the State of
Israel. In addition,
NJCRAC's traditional posi-
tions on church-state issues,
reproductive rights, civil
rights and outlook on world
Jewry are summarized and
updated.
The Democracy and
Pluralism in Israel section
was one of the more
"controversial" in the plan,
said Arden Shenker, chair-
man of NJCRAC's executive
committee.
The section recommends
that the Jewish community
relations field support
"efforts to codify basic
human rights principles in
Israel" and "Israeli govern-
ment programs and in-
itiatives by private organ-
izations that promote
democracy and pluralism"
in Israel.
Mr. Rubin and Mr.
Shenker said that the inclu-
sion of the Democracy and
Pluralism section marks the
first time NJCRAC has
entered the realm of what
many would consider inter-
nal Israeli affairs, some-
thing the American Jewish
community has often been
reluctant to do publicly.
But Mr. Rubin argued that
"the health of Israel's
democracy is of concern to
the American Jewish com-
munity."
The section was one of
several in which the Union
The positions have
evolved throughout
the year in a series
of meetings.
of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America, a
NJCRAC member, dissented
from the official NJCRAC
position.
"We have long believed
that public debate among
North American Jews on
questions of Israeli foreign
policy, domestic political
structure and religious in-
tegrity are divisive both to
our own community and the
people of the sovereign State
of Israel," the Orthodox
Union wrote in its dissent in
the Program Plan.
The Orthodox group also
differed from NJCRAC posi-
tions on a number of church-
state issues and on the um.-
brella organization's com-
mitment to fight for a
woman's right to an abor-
tion.
O.U. objections to an ac-
tivist pro-choice stance have
prevented NJCRAC from fil-
ing Supreme Court briefs,
since member agencies have
veto power over any action
taken in NJCRAC's name.
In such cases, NJCRAC
will still act as a coordinator
for those agencies who are
participating in the pro-
choice fight, with each agen-
cy participating in its own
name, instead of under the
NJCRAC rubric.
On church-state issues,
NJCRAC upheld the historic
