"The Jewish community
has responded with
denial," Rabbi Levy said.
"The community needs to
confront statistics, to con-
front the denial of abuse."
By promoting the ideal
of the nuclear family and
of shalom bayit, the peace-
ful home, as the only type
of family, the synagogue
supports the problem,
Rabbi Levy said. The per-
fection ideal discourages
women from talking about
abuse; they feel they have
failed as wives.
Rabbi Levy also dis-
cussed how traditional
ideas implemented to pro-
tect the woman, such as a
get, Jewish divorce, often
hurt the woman more
than help her — keeping
her bound to her abuser.
"The deeper issue is to
condemn all violence,"
Rabbi Levy said. "Rabbis
should not only address
the wrongness of violence
in the home, but also
speak from a more femi-
nist bent."
In response to this prob-
lem, the family violence
program at Jewish Family
Service has evolved over
the years, Ms. Driker said.
Originally a child abuse
prevention program, the
issues surfaced to include
the entire family — and
not just on the level of
physical abuse, but also
emotional terrorism and
economic control.
According to Ms. Driker,
anywhere from 50 to 60
families are involved in -
the program at any given
time. The family usually
includes the woman and
her children. Batterers,
Ms. Driker said, rarely
want help.
"Domestic violence cuts —
across the board," Ms.
Driker said. "Our numbers
may appear skewed as
wealthier women often
choose to go elsewhere for
help. But this happens in
every tax bracket."
At 4:40 p.m. the presen-
tation ended. The stu-
dents joined together for
an activity called creating
a response network —
looking at listings of orga-
nizations and determining
forums in which they can
work together — much the
same way they will be
doing professionally.

Cards Are Restored
To Two Journalists
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israeli
government has restored the
press cards of two foreign
correspondents whose
credentials were suspended
last month for bypassing
military censorship rules.
Ian Black of the British
newspaper the Guardian
and Carol Rosenberg of the
Miami Herald claimed at the
time they were merely
transmitting material
published in the Israeli press
on a Nov. 5 training accident
at Tze'elim in the Negev
that killed five soldiers in an
elite unit and wounded five
more.
The exercise, which, it
later emerged, had been
observed by the Israeli army
chief of staff, triggered what
has been called a war of the
generals over responsibility
for the mishap.
A preliminary inquiry
panel singled out three offi-
cers for responsibility in the
fatal accident, which is
under ongoing investigation
by the military police.
The suspension of the
press credentials of the two
foreign correspondents by
the Israel Government Press
Office was widely condemn-
ed by the media worldwide
and led to calls by Israelis
for review of censorship pro-
cedures.
The Government Press Of-
fice decided to return the
cards because it was
"favorably impressed" with
the behavior of the two jour-
nalists concerned, said the
office's director, Uri Dromi.
Both reporters said
withdrawal of their creden-
tials had not affected their
work, although Mr. Black
described the move as
"unpleasant and manip-
ulative."
Ms. Rosenberg said she
had spent most of the last
month in Somalia and had
not needed her card.
Israeli military censors are
now studying a plan to issue
warnings to correspondents
on "unpublishable mate-
rial" rather than leaving the
decision on whether to sub-
mit copy to the censor to the
reporters themselves, said
Mr. Dromi.
