ZING /-) groups should never ban Israel's representatives. Instead, make them miserable. Every Israeli leader should be welcomed and then, in the finest of Jewish tra- ditions, yelled at after the em- brace. Fax them, mail them, get in their face if they refuse to con- front the issue. Reform and Conservative Jews also should skip absolutist de- mands and seek creative solu- tions for this 250-year-old dilemma. Don't ban Israeli leaders. Embrace them — then make them miserable. One idea is to push for the re- vamping of Israel's Ministry of Religion into the Ministry of Jew- ish Education. Make its staff only Jewish educators. This could in- corporate a Ministry of Values, which the head of Israel's Na- tional Religious Party recently suggested. Yes, he's Orthodox. The truth is, we are not all con- sidered to be Jews by various groups. Our rabbis must deal openly and publicly with the sticky issue of conversion. The Orthodox do not and will not accept non-Orthodox conver- sion. Nor need they. We can still work together under the um- brellas of "the Jewish communi- ty" and "Jewish interests." Further, it's right to push, as some non-Orthodox synagogues are doing, membership in the Re- form and Conservative Zionist groups prior to December's World Zionist Organization Congress. Higher representation from these groups means more money for their programs in Israel. In fact, in the past year about $483,000 went to Orthodox groups, just over $1 million to both Conserv- ative and Reform operations. Thus, four times as much went to non-Orthodox groups. Mind you, the separation of re- ligion and state in Israel is far away. Orthodox political parties will not simply give up power. But Reform and Conservative Jews can change tactics to be more effective. And they must go the difficult path of seeking to bring more of their Orthodox col- leagues into the battle. After all, everyone's fighting for the Jew- ish people — not just one slice of it.
