Bill Clinton, once thought to have a lock on the Democrat- ic nomination — and Jewish vote — is fighting for his po- litical life in New York, where a confused and alien- ated Jewish community could hold the key to victory in next Tuesday's primary. This week, Mr. Clinton turned his sights on New York's restive Jewish population, receiving a warm and supportive recep- tion from an army of Or- thodox activists in Brooklyn and a sympathetic hearing from members of the New York Jewish Community Relations Council. "He focused on the vulnerability that Jewish feel today," said William Rapfogel, director of the In- stitute for Public Affairs of the Union of Orthodox Jew- ish Congregations, who at- tended the NYJCRC meeting. "His sensitivity came across very well and I think people came away feel- ing somewhat more positive about him." But images of the blow- dried candidate shmoozing with bearded Chasidim — Mr. Clinton received a big laugh in Brooklyn when he suggested that he might in- stall a glatt kosher kitchen at the White House — did not put to rest an unease over his candidacy that has more to do with personality and character than with positions. "Clinton has some big problems with this commun- ity," said Dr. Mandell Gan- chrow, a longtime pro-Israel activist from Monsey, New York — and a Clinton dele- gate. According to Dr. Gan- chrow, Mr. Clinton has said the right things on critical issues like loan guarantees and support for foreign aid. But the candidate has not yet made an emotional im- pression on the Jewish community, he said. "What people need to hear is that he really believes that the United States and Israel have a unique rela- tionship that far surpasses the absence or presence of strategic interests. He's started to say these things — but not directly, and not completely." Mr. Clinton will probably - Mon.-Fri. 104 Sat. 10.3 358-4085 Franklin Plaza 29107 Northwestern Hwy.

Others agreed that, given the choices of Jerry Brown, President Bush' and Pat Buchanan, Mr. Clinton will do well among Jewish voters though he has failed to speak to their souls. Part of that is the result of a general mistrust of his distinctly Southern style, which seems alien to many Northern, urban Jews, one analyst suggested. And part of the problem is simply that this time around, a newly vulnerable Jewish community wants something more from a pres- idential candidate — a strong, positive gut feeling of empathy. Others have expressed concern about Clinton's stable of advisors, who run the gamut from pro-Israel stalwarts to those with more questionable positions on the Middle East. Mickey Kantor, a • Califor- nia attorney, is a top Clinton advisor who has won praise from a wide range of pro- Israel activists. David If- shin, the campaign's general Some say Mr. Clinton will win the Jewish vote by default. counsel, has long been assoc- iated with the American Israel Public Affairs Com- mittee (AIPAC). Anthony Lake, a former foreign policy advisor to President Jimmy Carter and now a foreign policy coor- dinator for Mr. Clinton, is regarded with less favor by hardline pro-Israel groups; Stanley Greenberg, one of his pollsters, wrote a book in which Israel was compared to South Africa. And one of Mr. Clinton's key supporters in New York is Harold Ickes, a former Jesse Jackson operative. Mr. Clinton has sought to woo Mr. Jackson's sup- porters without alienating his critics. "Clinton is perceived as being the candidate of the Jackson wing of the party," said political consultant Mark Siegel. "The problem is, he doesn't seem to know if it's Jesse or Scoop." Jesse Jackson is a wild card for the Jerry Brown campaign, as well. Curiously, Jewish con- cerns about Mr. Jackson —
