rights and full justice to all
men, and to combat the
powers of bigotry and
darkness wherever
originating and whatever
the target."
In light of those goals, Mr.
Dolny was asked how his
group felt about the Jan. 28
decision of a federal district
judge in California to strike
down the Pentagon's exclu-
sion of gays and lesbians as
unconstitutional.
In that case, Judge Terry
Hatter instructed the Navy
to permanently reinstate
Petty Officer V. Keith
Meinhold, who was
discharged last year after
proclaiming his homosex-
uality on a national televi-
sion program.
Mr. Dolny said he per-
sonally would back the deci-
sion. "We support the Con-
stitution, and if the policy is
decided to be discriminatory,
then I support that," he said.
But the leader of Reform
Judaism, Rabbi Alexander
Schindler, is deeply concern-
ed about the JWV's stance
against homosexuals in the
military.
Rabbi Schindler, who is
president of the Union of
American Hebrew Con-
gregations, recently wrote a
letter to a JWV spokesman,
Howard Metzger, saying he
was "appalled that such an
antediluvian attitude still

persists within a group that
calls itself Jewish."
"We, who were beaten in
the streets of Berlin cannot
turn our backs to the plague
of gay-bashing," the Reform
leader wrote in the letter
last Sept. 30.
Rabbi Schindler served in
the Army for four years dur-
ing World War II, was
wounded in action and
awarded the bronze star for
bravery. "And I can tell you
that the only moral prob-
lems we ever encountered
were from our heterosexual
comrades in arms," he
wrote.
The Reform leader had
urged Mr. Clinton, and Pres-
ident Bush before him, to
overturn the ban against
gays and lesbians.
On the opposite end of the
rabbinic spectrum, the Rab-
binical Alliance of America,
a 400-member organization
of stringently Orthodox
rabbis, urged last week that
the ban be upheld.
President Clinton's effort
to overturn it "really sends a
message to all the children
in the country that
homosexuality is an accep-
table lifestyle, which is com-
pletely against Torah
Judaism," said Rabbi
Herschel Kurzrock, ad-
ministrative judge of the
Rabbinical Alliance's beth
din, or rabbinical court.

ANC Delegates
Arrive In Israel

Jerusalem (JTA) — An
African National Congress
delegation arrived here,
marking the organization's
first official visit to Israel.
The trip is seen as the
latest indication of a change
in orientation for Israel,
which traditionally has had
strong ties to the white
government in Pretoria.
Now Jerusalem is trying to
develop closer ties to the
country's black opposition,
led by the ANC, with which
it has had rocky relations in
the past.
The ANC's agreement to
send the delegation was seen
in Israel as a positive re-
sponse to the new Israeli
government's overtures to
the anti-apartheid move-
ment.
The eight-member ANC
delegation, drawn from the
leadership of the ANC
Youth League, will meet
with Israeli President
Chaim Herzog and other
senior officials, visit
agricultural projects and

talk with African diplomats
based in Israel as part of the
12-day trip.
The trip is the product of
six months of talks between
the ANC and the South
African Union of Jewish
Students, which organized
the tour.
In Johannesburg, Howard
Sackstein, a former presi-
dent of the students union
and leader of a group called
Jews for Social Justice, told
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that those meetings
revealed that the ANC had
not had any "exposure to the
Israeli perspective on the
Middle East."
South Africa's chief rabbi,
other Jewish leaders and
Israeli officials gave the
ANC delegation a warm
send-off at a reception hosted
by the Jewish student union.
The South African Jewish
Board of Deputies and the
community's Zionist leader-
ship have also endorsed the
tour.
