Michigan. A statewide conference is
planned for mid-March and another
for later this year.
Despite the fact that the Hillels are
setting records in attendance and
number of campuses served, there is a
need for ongoing evaluation to estab-
lish that the Hillels have made sub-
stantive changes in the lives of our col-
lege youth and young adults. With
11,000 young people as our charge,
we must make sure that they are con-
necting and maintaining their ties to
their Jewish roots. This is the responsi-
bility of the Jewish community and,
specifically, Federation. The task is a
formidable one and we must all be
held accountable.
We welcome the challenge! ❑

DOUBLE WRONG from page 41

because they no longer "compete with
one another for men's attention." One
teacher of the laws of family purity
reports secular Jewish women
"brought to tears by the thought of a
society in which every move is not
subject to the lens of male appraisal,
and where they may be truly free to
be themselves."
Even the laws of family purity,
with their- mandated periods of sexual
separation and coming together,
which Kadosh depicts as "primitive
cleansing and fertility rituals," are
experienced positively in the Kauf-
man book.
The family purity laws are so in
line with me as a woman. . . Mt is
commanded that I not be sexually
taken for granted, that I have two
weeks each Month for myself," one
woman told Kaufman. In going to
the mikva, these women feel "con-
nected to history and other women."
Because their intimate lives are
wholly reserved to a private domain,
Kaufman discovered, "the baalot
teshuva seem to stimulate and deepen
their sense of sexuality." One woman
describes the laws of modesty as
focusing all the couples' "God-given
libido, like a laser beam, on the mari-
tal bed." After decades of marriage,
Orthodox women still report experi-
encing the excitement of new brides
upon returning from the mikva.
Ultimately, the real evil of the film
Kadosh is not the hurt inflicted on
Orthodox Jews, who will not recognize
themselves, but the deception perpetrat-
ed on all those Jewish men and women
who may be prevented by its lies from
exploring their Judaism. ❑
