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. Barry Mehler Big Rapids 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. Steven Fine A T A B L E Southfield 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. Jason S.
