Jewish Salem

Continued from preceding page

it happened over 300 years
ago.
"Anywhere I go, even in
Israel, when I say I'm from
Salem, Massachusetts, people
recognize it right away," said
Rabbi Kenner, a native of
Nova Scotia who's been in the
Boston area 23 years and has
been rabbi here for nine
years.
"But the fact remains that
there are many people who
want to turn around the
perception that Salem is in-
tolerant and bigoted because
of its history," he said.
The Jews and non-Jews, for
example, work hard to main-
tain harmony. "There's ex-
cellent cooperation between
the clergy of Salem and the
civic community," said the
rabbi, who's past president of
the Salem Clergy Association

and of the North Shore Rab-
binical Association and
serves as chariman of the
Center for Holocaust Studies,
headquartered in nearby
Peabody.
Tourists are often surprised
to find a synagogue in Salem
— and to learn of all the
Jewish activities its members
are involved in," Rabbi Ken-
ner said. "They're often sur-
prised and pleased that
there's an active Jewish com-
munity in Salem."
And what they find at Tem-
ple Shalom is an example of
Salem's positive spirit. "It's a
very friendly, haimish con-
gregation," he said. "People
say we're the least formal on
the North Shore. We welcome
tourists warmly. Nobody gets
out the door here without be-
ing greeted."

he use and abuse of co-
caine among Jews re-
mains more pervasive
than the Jewish community
might be ready to accept,
"but it has leveled off among
Jews" and in the general
population during the past
year, according to Dr. David
Zahm, clinical director of the
Outpatient Addiction
Treatment Center in
Manhattan, a private group
practice agency.
Dr. Zahm, who declared a
year ago that cocaine use
and abuse among Jews of all
ages was getting worse, set
out his more optimistic
evaluation in a second inter-
view.
While expressing deep
concern over the magnitude
of the drug problem among
American Jews, Dr. Zahm
observed that at present
there are fewer children
from intact families, in-
cluding intact Jewish
families, coming to the
treatment center for rehabil-
itation.
He said both clinical
evidence and information
from other qualified sources
led him to believe that the
"unexpected upsurge" in
drug use he noted four years
ago "has receded."
That view was cor-
roborated in a report by the
National Institute of Drug
Abuse at the end of August.
Charles Schuster, director
of the institute, cited

government data that the
number of cocaine related
visits to hospital emergency
rooms throughout the
United States had dropped
three quarters in a row. He
said that progress was final-
ly being made "in reaching
those who are seriously be-
ing affected" by the drug
epidemic.
Asked whether he felt that
the year-old war on drugs led
by drug czar William Ben-
nett was a factor in the im-
provement, Dr. Zahm said
he believed administration
officials were "doing the best
they could."
But he believes the
priorities giving major at-
tention to interdiction of
drugs and prosecution of
drug dealers were wrong.
Rehabilitative treatment
should receive a much larger
share of the drug war fun-
ding, Dr. Zahm said.
He recalled his earlier
statement that "Juppies" —
Jewish urban professionals
in the 21-40 age bracket —
had in recent years been
turning to cocaine for a
quick exaggerated sense of
well-being.
He said the expectation of
gratification complicated
efforts to induce such young
professionals to stop using co-
caine and get treatment.
But even Jews living an a
strictly cloistered at-
mosphere are not immune to
drug use and abuse, Dr.
Zahm said, citing as exam-
ples the ultra-Orthodox and
Chasidic Jews who come to
his center for treatment.
