child was being raised
Jewish. The case was com-
plicated by the fact that the
father was a Kohen.
The Beit Din decided not to
encourage the mother to con-
vert since that would man-
date a divorce which was
unacceptable to the poskim.
After you have been around
for a few thousand years you
begin to realize that keeping
the movement alive requires
adaptation. There is a
legitimate tension in adap-
ting to changing conditions
and trying to maintain the
core values of our historic
tradition, but the cynic Mr.
Rosenblatt calls upon could
make the same suggestion
with regard to the other ma-
jor theological divisions of
Judaism.

B'nai B'rith Softball
And Shavuot
On Sunday, May 19, the
B'nai B'rith softball league
kicked off its season. Under
the direction of its commis-
sioner, Marty Melton, the
B'nai B'rith Council approv-
ed this schedule that began
play on the holiday of
Shavuot.
Seeing as B'nai B'rith is the
world's largest Jewish
organization, I was appalled
that the board deemed it ap-
propriate to put its softball
game ahead of one of the most
important holidays on the
Jewish calendar.
I find it most interesting
that on Memorial Day
weekend, the league has
chosen not to play. Is this
what B'nai B'rith has come
to? Are we becoming a secular
religion who worships bowl-
ing, basketball and softball?
As a Jewish organization
there should have been no
decision on whether to play
on Shavuot. You just don't
play!
I strongly urge Mr. Melton
and the Metropolitan Detroit
B'nai B'rith Council to take
a look at what they are
becoming and what they are
losing sight of.

This Book Is
Not The Answer
One of the foremost con-
cerns in Judaism today is the
future. With intermarriage at
an all-time high, and barely
10 percent of Jewish college
students participating in
Jewish activity, are we on a
path of destruction? The
answer is yes.
The solution to this pro-
blem is the young children of
our community. At an early
age we must help our
children to have pride and
celebrate being Jewish.
The article "Coloring Book
Explores Interfaith Rela-
tions" (May 17), is counter-
productive to the goals of the
Jewish community. At such
an early age, impressionable
children can easily confuse
such fundamental topics as
Chanukah and Christmas. In
an era of Chanukah-bushes
and Harry Chanukah deliver-
ing gifts, we must strive to
overcome society's beckoning
call.
It is certainly not time to
"write off" our college-age
community, already caught in
the grips of assimilation. Nor
should we be shielding our
children from the other
religions of this world.
We must begin to realize
that the children are our
hope. We must set them on
the path which we want the
Jewish people to follow for
generations to come. This
path is filled with many
books, but hopefully not this
one.
