Jews, employ it. Otherwise, our
rallying slogans are empty bom-

If, in fund-raising we affirm
"We are one," if we declare in
the language of our Sages, Kol
Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh ("All
Israel is interdependent"), then
we must define who "we" is,

ue. It was Rabin, after all, at the
close of the Six-Day War who
recalled that, as a child in the
days before Israel's statehood,
he could ascend only a limited
number of stairs at Machpelah
and peek through a small hole
into the area covering the tombs
of our Patriarchs and Matri-
archs. When he negotiates, he
does not forget this.
I have prayed at the site on
several occasions, not always
with the blessing of a nervous
Israeli guide. As I have day-
ened, I have looked over Hebron
and called to mind the terrible
riots and deaths of many Jews
in 1929 and 1936. We forget
nothing.

New Orleans (JTA) — Jew-
ish organizational leaders
are beginning to rethink
their approach to the issue of
black anti-Semitism in the
wake of recent clashes with
the mainstream black com-
munity over Nation of Islam
leader Louis Farrakhan.
Their reappraisal became
apparent during interviews
and sessions held as part of
the annual plenum of the
National Jewish Commun-
ity Relations Advisory
Council.
Communal officials said it
was becoming increasingly
clear to them that calling on
black leaders to condemn
and distance themselves
from Farrakhan may not be
the most effective means to
counter the effect of his anti-
Semitism in the black com-
munity.
Such pressure itself
becomes an issue in the
black community, "an issue
of blacks attacking their
own on behest of whites,"
Rabbi David Saperstein, di-
rector of the Religious Ac-
tion Center of Reform
Judaism, said at a NJCRAC
session.
Rabbi Saperstein, who has
long maintained this posi-
tion, added that black
leaders who denounce anti-
Semites in their community
are seen as bowing to out-
siders.
The black leaders thereby
"undermine their credibility
in segments like college
campuses which we hope
they would most influence.
It's a Catch-22," he said.
Moreover, most African
Americans do not see Far-
rakhan's anti-Semitic words
as a real threat to the Jewish
community, said Burton
Siegel, associate executive
director of the Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council of
Greater Philadelphia.
These blacks wonder
whether just ignoring Far-
rakhan might be a more
effective Jewish response,
added Siegel, who spoke at
the same session as Sapers-
tein.
These concerns over how to
deal with anti-Semitism in
the black community have
come to the fore in recent
weeks, as the Anti-
Defamation League and
other groups have had to
deal with efforts by the
mainstream black leader-
ship to reach out to Far-
rakhan,
