countless others as "sub-
human."
The Jewish community can-
not plead innocence. We do
not recognize African
Americans as our equals. If
we did, would we allow the ap-
palling levels of poverty and
degree of violence which exist
in our cities to continue?
Would we allow fear and
alienation to paralyze us?
In order to reverse the social
conditions which have bred
the Rodney King verdict, the
ensuing riots and the suffer-
ing of African Americans, we
as Jews must be part of a pro-
cess of rebuilding a sense of
human community.
This is a special respon-
sibility that is the result of
our history. Each of us has
something to contribute to
this effort. This process will
not be easy or comfortable: As
individuals and as a com-
munity, we will have to face
our fears, our prejudices and
our silence.
As Jews, we are compelled
to this through the obligation
of tzedakah, which mandates
that we not only give charity,
but we prevent need.
Next year is the 50th an-
niversary of the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising. The Jewish
community can best honor
the heros of 1943 by working
to create a society of justice
and dignity for the oppressed
amongst us. If we fail to do so,
1993 will be remembered for
uprisings of our own making.

Civics Lessons
And Indignation
I must respectfully disagree
with the associate editor's civ-
ic lesson (May 8) on the Los
Angeles tragic events. The
first observation is that his
civic lesson is either in-
complete or inadequate as he
does not even mention the
reaction of wanton destruc-
tion, murder, greed and loot.
Can a true civic lesson ig-
nore that? That indeed would
make any fair-minded person
as furious as the author was.
The second item difficult to
understand is placing Nazi
Kristallnacht in the same
category with inner city
racial disturbance. The writer
must be aware that
Kristallnacht was inspired,
organized, and executed by
Nazi authorities.
I am certain the author did
not mean to leave such an im-
pression. Perhaps he was car-
ried away a bit too far by
righteous indignation.

Kosher Diversity
On The Increase
4
I would like to thank you for
the refreshing kosher cuisine
article April 24. It's very im- al
portant for your readers to see
that there are a number of■
respectable local caterers pro-
viding healthy and appetizing
kosher meals.
As the number of kosher 4
clientele increase, so has the .4
diversity of entrees. The
stereotypical kosher cuisine■4
may still exist, but thanks to
new contemporary demands —4
more chic and elegant alter-
natives have been added to 4
the menu .
