reached after months of
thoughtful discussion involv-
ing the leadership of the RCA
and of the Orthodox Round-
table. We all agreed that
working as part of the RCA
gives the roundtable a con-
siderably stronger and
broader base for its important
work.
As one who was involved
with the Orthodox Round-
table from the beginning, it
was never the goal of the
roundtable to serve as a
"posek." Rather, the goal was
to present position papers on
a wide variety of issues, in the
hope that these papers would
stimulate further thought
and discussion.
This process, of course, will
continue and even be enhanc-
ed within the RCA. The pur-
pose of the RCA Roundtable
is not to serve as a "lobby,"
but as a stimulus to learning,
thinking and discussing vital
issues to our community.
The decision to establish
the RCA Roundtable is a
dramatic example of coopera-
tion and sensitivity among
Orthodox leadership. It is an
example of how individuals
can transcend parochial con-
cerns in order to adopt a more
far-reaching goal.
Intead of depicting this
phenomenon as being a con-
troversy of some sort, your
reporter should have recog-
nized its profound signifi-
cance. The RCA Roundtable
is a testimony to the winn-
ingness of Orthodox leader-
ship to work in a united and
concerted fashion for the
greater good of the
community.

James Baker
And Settlements

In two hours of testimony
before the foreign operations
subcommittee of the House of
Representatives, Secretary of
State Baker correctly listed a
number of ways in which the
Arabs had failed to respond to
his entreaties with regard to
an Arab-Israeli negotiating
session. Yet, he apparently
could not resist the tempta-
tion to single out Israel for
special criticism, focusing on
Israel's settlement policy in
the administered territories
and east Jerusalem as an
"impediment to peace"
Dr. Dore Gold, associated
with the highly respected and
non-partisan Jaffee Center
for Strategic Studies at Tel
Aviv University, writing in
the Jerusalem Post (May 18),
stated that "the Israeli
government responded

favorably to the 'new' Baker.
It accepted the regional
meeting . . . it freed 1,000
Palestinian detainees as a
confidence-building measure.
No reciprocal confidence-
building measures came from
the Arab side; Coca-Cola was
removed from the Arab
boycott list, but 110 new com-
panies were added" .. .
The claim that the set-
tlements are an obstacle to
peace is a "red herring." Sad-
ly enough, Secretary Baker
failed to see it for what it was
— a transparent Arab ploy to
obstruct the peace-process.
As a matter of principle,
however, the government and
people of Israel will never ac-
quiesce in the proposition
that Jews shall be barred
from living anywhere in the
Land of Israel, the ad-
ministered territories
included.

Correcting
The Numbers

I would like to make a cor-
rection in Elizabeth Ap-
plebaum's commendable arti-
cle (May 17) on Temple
Israel's 50th anniversary
celebration. The article stated
that the temple attracted 200
men and women to its first
High Holy Day services in the
auditorium of the Detroit In-
stitute of Arts.
Temple Israel was organiz-
ed in July 1941. By the time
of the High Holy Days, almost
600 members joined the new
congregation. As one of the
founding members of Temple
Israel, my family and I were
among the 1,000 men and
women who attended the first
High Holy Day services.
