Welfare Reform:
Domestic Disaster
ewish groups are despair-
ing over the welfare bill
passed by the Senate last
week — for several reasons.
The comprehensive legislation
"will have a devastating impact
on millions of American families,"
said Sammie Moshenberg, Wash-
ington director for the National
Council of Jewish Women. "It
punishes children for being born
at the wrong time to families in
need; it limits welfare to five
years, but doesn't put nearly
enough resources into putting
people into jobs. There isn't near-
ly enough money for child care."
And by ending welfare for
women and children as an enti-
tlement, she said, "it completely
shreds the safety net."
Jewish groups also were criti-
cal of provisions that will bar both
legal and illegal immigrants from
a number of government-funded
social service programs; in some
cases, even naturalized Ameri-
cans would be denied services,
leading to "the creation of a kind
of second-class citizenship for
the foreign-born," according to
Richard Foltin, legislative direc-
tor of the American Jewish Com-
mittee.
"This is going to be a bad bill
no matter what," said Rabbi
David Saperstein of the Religious
Action Center of Reform Ju-
daism. "There will be an effort to
soften some of the worst provi-
sions. But that's going to be a very
difficult fight."
The RAC is urging President
Bill Clinton to veto the measure,
but he already has indicated sup-
port for the Senate version of wel-
fare reform. Unless the final bill
veers off in the direction of the
harsher House measure, a veto
is unlikely.
Jewish groups also failed to
block language in the bill that
could significantly change
church-state policy.
"Potentially, this bill was one
of the worst church-state setbacks
for us ever," said Michael Lieber-
man, Washington counsel for the
Anti-Defamation League.
In the past, religious agencies
could participate in government
programs — but only through af-
filiated organizations that main-
tained a degree of separation
between government and reli-
gion.
"Under this bill, the money
could go directly to churches," he
said.
Other Jewish activists say the
community was sluggish in its re-
sponse to the new church-state
controversy.
"There were so many other
parts of this bill that we had prob-
lems with that we lacked the re-
j
sources to really press for the re-
moval of these sections," said an
official with another Jewish
group. 'We knew it was bad, but
maybe we didn't focus enough at-
tention on it."
Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.)
had introduced an amendment
that would have softened the im-
pact of the controversial provi-
sion, but his resignation from the
Senate left that effort in limbo.
Not all Jewish groups, howev-
er, were unhappy.
"We were very supportive of
these provisions," said Abba Co-
hen, Washington representative
for Agudath Israel of America. "It
recognizes the important role re-
ligious organizations play in ad-
dressing community needs, in
dealing with poverty."
The bill does contain adequate
safeguards against the mingling
of religious activities and social
services, he maintained.
Mr. Cohen played a pivotal role
in changing one provision in the
original draft that would have
prohibited children whose fami-
lies use government child-care
vouchers from using them at day-
care centers that contain religious
elements — in essence, undoing
the Orthodox victory in the child-
care legislation that passed sev-
eral years ago.
"We contacted the majority
leader and other key senators,"
Mr. Cohen said. "When the final
bill was introduced, it contained
the changes we had recom-
mended."
