Religious Freedom
To Receive Push
Capitol Hill has been
preoccupied with the dra-
matic Clarence Thomas
hearings, and Jewish groups
have focused on little else
but the continuing fallout
from the loan guarantee
fiasco.
So it is hardly surprising
that a number of issues have
been lost in the shuffle — in-
cluding the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act, a
top priority for a wide range
of Jewish groups.
Several Jewish activists
are participating in an effort
to bring the bill, which
would reverse a Supreme
Court decision in the so-
called "peyote case," back
into the legislative
limelight.
Judy Golub, legislative di-
rector for the American Jew-
ish Committee, and Rabbi
David Saperstein, director of
the Religious Action Center
of Reform Judaism, are or-
ganizing a "lobby day" to
turn up the heat on a Con-
gress that has been too busy
to focus much attention on
the religious freedom mea-
sure.
"We've been focusing a lot
on mobilizing grass roots
support for the bill," Ms.
Golub said. "Now it's time to
go back to Congress."
The measure currently has
106 co-sponsors and is sup-
ported by a wide range of re-
ligious groups, including
organizations representing
just about every point on the
Jewish spectrum.
Recently, the Mormon
Church became an active
member of the religious lib-
erties coalition, marking the
first time the church has
become involved in a major
legislative coalition. •
Jewish Democrats
Plan For New York
The National Jewish
Democratic Council, the
group dedicated to cemen-
ting the traditional bond
between Jews and the Dem-
ocratic Party, is getting is
organized fOr next year's
party extravaganza in New
York.
The group's executive
council met recently and
decided to expand its ranks.
Added were Robert Rose, an
investment banker in New
York, and Geri Palast, a
union official in Washing-
ton.
Mr. Rose's appointment
was significant because he is
also on the host committee
for the Democratic conven-
tion.
