ernment funding for sectarian social
welfare projects — as well as his sup-
port for school vouchers and his war
on terror, which they feel has eroded
civil liberties.
Marshall Breger, a liaison to the
Jewish community in the Reagan
White House, says the Bush adminis-
tration is "cherry picking" allies from
among Jewish groups. "If you're at
odds with the administration on so
many issues, from A to Z, there is less
to talk to you about," said Breger, now
a professor at Catholic University
School of Law.
Matthew Brooks, executive director
of the Republican Jewish Coalition,
says almost all Jewish groups have had
opportunities to meet with the presi-
dent and other senior administration
officials since Bush came to office. "I
vehemently and fundamentally dis-
agree with the notion" that some have
been shut out, Brooks said. "They
have opened up the White House to
the entire Jewish community."
Bush supporters speak of a deliber-
ate plan to vary the voices the presi-
dent hears, which they say is consis-
tent with his outreach to other minor-
ity groups.
"He is trying to reach out, as he is
in everything he's doing, to a broader
cross-section of the Jewish communi-
ty," said Fred Zeidman, a Bush friend
from Texas whom the president
appointed as chairman of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council, which
oversees the Washington museum.
As the 2004 presidential election
campaign heats up, outreach to Jews is
expected to increase, since Jewish vot-
ers can be a pivotal group even though
Jews make up only about 2 percent of
the American population. Republican
circles believe Bush's handling of the
war on terrorism and the Middle East
— from Iraq to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict — will be rewarded with
fund-raising dollars and perhaps the
largest percentage of the Jewish vote a
Republican presidential candidate has
ever seen.
"It would be a shocking display of
ingratitude if American Jews were not
to support this president after all he
has done against terrorism that choos-
es Jews worldwide as its first victims,"
Frum said. Republicans will continue
making that case to American Jewish
voters directly, driving home the
notion that Bush is working for them.
Popular support among American
Jews, Frum hopes, may even push com-
munity leaders to rethink their political
opinions — bringing them closer to
those of the administration. Li
