One case, Zobrest vs. Catalina Foothills School District, deals with whether or not a deaf high school stu- dent who attends parochial school can have a sign lang- uage interpreter paid for with public funds. In the other case, Lamb's Chapel vs. Center Moriches Union Free School District, the justices must rule on whether an evangelical church group can use a public school, after school hours, to show a movie with a Christian theme. Both of these cases could have repercussions in the Jewish community, and Jewish groups have filed friend-of-the-court briefs and taken a strong interest in their outcomes. The oral arguments were often lively and were punc- tuated by laughter from those viewing the pro- ceedings. James Zobrest, the deaf student, was in the au- dience, and the court, for the first time, had a sign- language interpreter pre- sent. Mr. Zobrest's attorney, William Ball, argued that an interpreter was a "window of communication" who would be conveying religious messages, but would not have the authority of a teacher. He dismissed arguments that the interpreter would be seen by other children in the class as symbolizing a church-state union. John Richardson, arguing for the school district, said that the school district could provide services for the stu- dent, unlike this service, that were not involved in "religious indoctrination." The American Jewish Congress, the Religious Ac- tion Center of Reform Judaism and several Or- thodox groups are siding with the student in the Zobrest case, arguing that the use of public funds to pay for an interpreter in a parochial school would not infringe on the wall separating church and state. Abba Cohen, director of the Washington office of Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox group, said that the student and his family are being placed in an "unfortunate position," in which they are in effect be- ing asked to choose between giving up a religious edu- cation or giving up state aid. Nathan Lewin, a Wash- ington attorney who serves as vice president of COLPA, the National Jewish Com- mission on Law and Public Affairs, which represents the interests of observant Jews in courts and legislatures, said that the brief filed by his group in the case asked the court to go further than the petitioner's brief. COLPA, Mr. Lewin said, asked the court to - re- examine past cases decided on a 5-4 basis that denied aid to handicapped children on parochial school premises. The American Jewish Committee and the Anti- Defamation League are Jewish groups filed briefs in the cases. among groups filing briefs on the side of the school district. These groups believe that the presence of a public employee in a parochial school, interpreting infor- mation that could include some religious content, would violate the clause of the First Amendment pro- hibiting government "establishment of religion," or government backing of re- ligious practices. "What we are saying," said Michael Lieberman, as- sociate director and counsel of ADL's Washington office, "is that we have a situation with a public employee in- side a pervasively sectarian institution." The Zobrest case is just "one more skirmish in an unrelenting war" to have "public funding in non- public schools," said Samuel Rabinove, AJCommittee's legal director. AJCommittee, Mr. Rabinove said, "believes that public funds should go to public schools only." Otherwise, he added, Amen can education could beco fragmented, with each gro using "public tax dollars their own schools."
