means developing programs in
which these diverse communi-
ties work side by side to create
a more meaningful bond.
The concepts of justice and
fairness are themes that will
continue to run through her
work here in Detroit.
In Delaware, Rabbi Feldman
served on the board of the
American Civil Liberties Union
and on the Delaware Coalition
for Bosnia. She has written ex-
tensively on economic and so-
cial issues relating to women
and children. And several of her
midrashic writings have been
published, with another collec-
tion of work scheduled to ap-
pear in the spring.
During her career, Rabbi
Feldman has not hesitated to
speak frankly on matters of
public concern. In recent years,
she has written editorials in the
Jewish religious press on a va-
riety of sensitive topics, among
them:
Immigration reform — "Anti-
immigrant propaganda pro-
motes fear of different cultures.
It manipulates legitimate con-
cerns for economic stability,
personal safety and moral val-
ues in order to breed distrust
within our communities. Such
is the politics of division, and
history shows that Jews usu-
ally do not fare well in such a
climate."
Bosnia — "I know there are
many in our community who
reject the comparison between
the Holocaust and the Balkan
debacle." While conceding some
vast differences, she asks, "Is
there a difference between con-
centration camps for Jews and
concentration camps for Mus-
lims? Are numbers alone the
defining characteristic of geno-
cide? ... Is it possible that we, of
all the peoples of the world, fail
to recognize genocide when we
see it?"
Christian Coalition — "The
10 provisions in the Christian
Coalition's so-called contract is
nothing like ours. Our covenant
demands social justice and faith
in God with equal force. To love
God is to give to the poor and
needy. To fear God is to show
deference to the aged and pro-
vide justice for all. In contrast,
Ralph Reed's document is about
tax cuts and Christianizing c/\
America."
In Rabbi Feldman's view, the
rise of the religious right and
related issues concerning the
separation of church and state
are among the most important
issues facing Jews today. Leg-
islation on school prayer, vouch-
ers and charter schools will be
high on her policy-making
agenda at the Council. And she
wants others in the communi-
ty also to air their views.
"With the challenge of reli-
gious extremists, it is very im-
portant that religious leaders
who are not fundamentalist
speak up in the public arena
and let people know there is not
just one religious voice in the
community," she said. ❑

The length and breadth of sup-

percent, Israelis and Jews in
America alike have a right to
know of this dissension and the
issues so they may decide for
themselves, however unpopular
the message.
It is unfortunate that our own
Jewish News chose not to cover
the Ruth Matar visit. This is an
ongoing current issue. It is the
obligation of this newspaper to
report it as such.
