FEDERATIONS page 108 approach to the intermarried mirrored the debate within the larger Jewish community. Roy Clements, a member of the task force and a vice presi- dent of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, called the philosophy of embracing the in- termarried without emphasizing conversion to Judaism "a dan- gerous approach." While he agreed to support the consensus of the task force, he said in an interview that CJF's advocacy for broad inclusion of the intermarried in Jewish com- munal life "appears to say that the general community condones the situation and that this is the best way to handle it. "It is 'difficult to forecast whether it will better or worsen the situation," he said. Egon Mayer, another task force member and director of the Jewish Outreach Institute, said that the fact that CJF is ad- dressing the issue is significant. "It takes the issue out of the background and brings it to the foreground, puts the imprimatur of a major Jewish organization on it," he said. "It also puts the appropriate community control over how the issue is dealt with by the main- stream of the American Jewish We all hear about the big disasters. But disasters happen every day.

American Red Cross community," Mr. Mayer added. The report reprints the demo- graphic statistics about inter- marriage from the CJF 1990 National Jewish Population Study. The study showed that, at the time, 52 percent of all Jews were marrying outside the faith. The figures prompted alarm through- out the Jewish community. It also lists some of the pro- grams offered to the intermarried by a handful of federations and other agencies, like synagogue movements and Jewish commu- nity centers. The San Diego Jewish Feder- ation, for example, held focus groups with intermarried couples to ascertain their needs and, as a result, began a program called "Pathways to Judaism" conduct- ed in a local synagogue on Sun- day afternoons. The 30-session course is de- signed for children ages 5 to 18, to teach them more about their Jewish heritage. Parallel tracks involve parents, grandparents and couples without children. Funding is provided by the fed- eration and a private foundation. The report was presented to CJF's Executive Committee at the organization's quarterly meetings in New York this week.

New York (JTA) — Teachers and other interested parties across the country can now log on to the Internet computer network and access a teachers guide on the Holocaust, free of charge. The curriculum guide, The Holocaust —A Guide for Penn- sylvania Teachers, was produced under the auspices of the Penn- sylvania Jewish Coalition and published by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The creators of the guide de- cided to use the latest means of communications technology to make Holocaust education pos- sible for a greater number of peo- ple. Few commercial books are available on the Internet because their authors cannot register sales or profits via the online corn- puter network. But for the author of the Holocaust teacher's guide, educational possibilities took precedence. "It is so important for people to have access to this that I want everyone to have a chance to get it for free," said Gary Grobman, executive director of the Penn- sylvania Jewish Coalition and au- thor of the guide. "The guide employs the lessons of the Holocausi to i n.611 wyare- ness of the pathology of hatred and bigotry and to encourage un- derstanding and tolerance. These skills should not have a price tag, and the Internet has provided a means to remove that restric- tion," he said. The 150-page guide — which includes chapters on bigotry, anti- Semitism and Holocaust history — provides teaching objectives, vocabulary sections, discussion questions and activities. Mr. Grobman believes that the guide is "wonderful also for stu- dents doing research" on the Holocaust. The guide was published in book form in 1990. It was made available for access on the Inter- net starting July 16 by Jerusalem Orie, an Israel-based information network. According to Zvi Lando, man- ager of the Jerusalem One net- work, approximately 45 million people use the Internet. Anyone with a modem and an Internet connection can freely ac- cess and print out the entire guide. The Holocaust guide can be lo- cated through the Internet gopher server at jerus- leml.datasrv.co.il under the Elec- tronic Jewish Library qf the 'Jerusalem Crtc Na ts.,
