Reform Movement
Targets Non-Jews
San Francisco (JTA) — The
president of the Reform
movement, Rabbi Alexander
Schindler, has proposed a
controversial plan to spend
$5 million to attract non-
Jews to the movement.
The proposal was made
during Rabbi Schindler's
keynote address to more
than 4,000 Jews gathered at
the 62nd biennial of the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations held here
Oct. 21-25.
Rabbi Schindler's call
raised eyebrows among
delegates at the convention
and leaders of Judaism's
other denominations, whose
discomfort reflects
Judaism's long-standing
tradition of not evangelizing
among other faiths.
We "should pave a mis-
sionary path to the
heartland of this continent if
not the world!" Rabbi
Schindler proclaimed in his
sermon at Saturday morn-
ing's Sabbath services.
"Judaism has an enor-
mous amount of wisdom and
experience to offer to our
troubled world, and we Jews
ought to be proud to pro-
claim it with fervor and
pride," Rabbi Schindler said.
I "call to reach out to those
of our neighbors who belong
to no church or other re-
ligious institutions," he
said.
Rabbi Schindler urged the
movement "unabashedly
and urgently to resume our
vocation as missionaries, as
champions of Judaism."
The Reform rabbi's pro-
posal to missionize was pro-
vocative.
"Wouldn't something like
this dilute Jewish values?"
asked convention delegate
Maryann Fenster, a member
of University Synagogue in
Los Angeles and president of
the western region of the
National Federation of
Temple Sisterhoods. "This is
not something we should be
focusing on."
Sheldon Rudoff, president
of the Union of Orthodox
Jewish Congregations, said
proselytizing has
"historically never been
something we've done."
Rabbi Moshe Sherer, pres-
ident of Agudath Israel of
America, said Rabbi
Schindler's proposal "is a
further step to undermine
the identity and continuity
of the Jewish people."
"It would seem that this
group has launched another
public relations numbers
game to increase its consti-
tuency. Unable to ac-
complish this goal within
the Jewish community, the
Reform leaders are once
again reaching out to the
non-Jewish world to bolster
their ranks."
Rabbi Sherer was referr-
in g to the Reform
movement's 1984 decision to
adopt the principle of
"patrilineal descent" and to
accept the children of Jewish
fathers and non-Jewish
mothers as Jews.
That decision broke with
the tradition of defining
Jewish lineage through the
mother. No other Jewish
movement defines Jews by
the father's religion.
Rabbi Schindler, in an
interview after his speech,
Alexander Schindler:
His plan was provocative.
said that, in fact, Jews
historically did missionize to
others, but that their efforts
ended when the societies in
which they lived began pros-
ecuting them for their
efforts.
The movement's Outreach
Commission has focused on
involving and integrating
into Jewish life the non-
Jewish partners in inter-
married families that belong
to the Reform denomina-
tion's 850 congregations.
The founding chairman of
the Outreach Commission,
David Belin, will lead the
effort to raise $5 million.
Rabbi Schindler suggested
that money he wants to raise
to further the Reform
movement's missionary pro-
gram might be spent on
advertising synagogue pro-
grams that teach non-Jewish
spouses about Judaism.
