were better, but it's not.
There's a painful lack of root-
edness within the Jewish com-
munity. There's a lack of
knowledge among our Jewish
leaders on questions of ethics,
thought and history. And if
our adults don't know, our
children aren't going to know
either."
Mrs. Cardin pointed to as-
similation as a major reason
for the drop-off in American
Jewish consciousness. She
added that the involvement of
federal dollars and programs
in social action causes once to-
tally funded by Jews also had
an assimilating effect.
"We started to move away
from lifestyle Judaism," she
said. "Many Jews remember
a time when there was no
question that the person they
would date or marry was an-
other Jew. Those are the old
days. Now, you hear so many
people talk about how their
grandmother lit Sabbath can-
dles. The question is, why
don't they light them as well?
We've made the spirit of
Judaism more of a check-writ-
ing affair than ever before. We
didn't make Jewish knowl-
edge a criterion for leadership.
"Yes, there are many
Jewish leaders who don't have
any other claim to their posi-
tion than money," she contin-
ued. "They don't have
knowledge."
She said the knowledge is-
sue is a burning one for her
because she worries that a
Jewish family that once drew
its strength from traditions
and knowledge is missing out
on what previous generations
used for cohesion. Also, Ms.
Cardin said it was the knowl-
edge that "made us different."
Ms. Cardin said Jews of all
denominations should realize
that there is a shared culture,
a common destiny and a be-
lief in one God that holds us
together. She also said there
is a need to understand that
the Jewish role is to contin-
ue working in other socially
active ways. She mentioned
the war in Yugoslavia as
something that Jews should
speak out on.
Jews should be counted on
and given recognition, not just
because they give money but
because they serve as well.
The great Jewish leaders were
never identified, she said, by
their bank accounts. It was,
instead, their actions that
brought recognition.
"I am not pessimistic," she

Shoshana Cardin

said. "We've been shaping
great leaders for thousands of
years. I just don't want the fu-
ture generations to forget
where our great leaders came
from, and why they worked so
hard. This is my fear, and it
should be a motivation."
It was over a year ago that
Ms. Cardin faced perhaps the
biggest challenge of her
Jewish communal life.
American Jews were arriving
in Washington, D.C., to ask
congressional leaders and the
president to approve $10 bil-
lion in loan guarantees for
Israel. Former President Bush
told the media he was being
pressured by thousands of lob-
byists for Israel. The next day,
the president received thou-
sands of letters of hate, con-
gratulating him for putting
down the Jews.
Ms. Cardin, as chairman of
the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish
Organizations, met Mr. Bush
and sternly told him what he
had unleashed.
"As soon as I got in the
room and started, I was not
nervous," she said. "It was not
Shoshana Cardin dealing
with the president at that
point. It was the American
Jewish community."
President Clinton, though
in office only a short while,
hasn't done much to prove
himself to Ms. Cardin.
"I am disappointed," she
said. "I don't see the president
focusing on any of the issues
he campaigned about I'm con-
cerned about the Middle East
peace process. It will require
stronger involvement from the
United States, but he hasn't
really done anything. I'm con-
cerned about the hate in the
world that leads to violence.
Again, I think the world is
waiting to see what this pres-
ident will do." 0
