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
