Movement from page 27
In the interview, Rabbi Schorsch
said that although he had "said many
of those things in Mexico City, for
the commencement address I wrote
it up."
His remarks at the R.A. convention,
he said, were "not as tightly" woven.
"I was attempting to reaffirm what
I believe to be the true character of
Conservative Judaism, a character
that is very much under attack from
within the movement:' he said. "When
the spiritual soil is gone, then the hal-
achic plants are in danger. And that
is what is happening to Conservative
Judaism!'
But the anonymous blogger on
the Internet chat room said he came
away with three messages from
Rabbi Schorsch: "The Conservative
Movement has gone to the dogs, it's
everyone else's fault but his own (he
blamed the students, the rabbis, Etz
Hayim, new liturgical music, etc.),
and the.only thing that will save the
movement is not a clear-eyed evalu-
ation of how the movement got into
this mess ... or a sober acknowl-
edgement of contemporary realities
such as intermarriage or an embrace
of this fuzzy-wuzzy musical sort of
spirituality, but rather a return to 'our
glorious past!"
In response, a number of people
posted their own observations. One
said: "I can appreciate Schorsch's .
commitment to academic study,
but it's sad to see an elder scholar
who expresses mistrust of the next
generation and insists that the only
way forward is a return to the past.
One would think that as a historian,
Schorsch would realize that genera-
tions do differ from one another and
that his response to those differences
is an oft-repeated cliche. Here's hop-
ing Dr. Eisen will come up with a bet-
ter attitude!'
He was referring to Stanford
University Professor Arnold Eisen,
who has been selected to succeed
Rabbi Schorsch as chancellor.
Another blogger wrote: "If he
were a leader, he would accept some
responsibility. After all, however the
graduates entered JTS, they've been
under his influence for the past sev-
eral years. If they haven't become who
he wants them to be„who's fault is
that?"
But another said the chancellor
should not be blamed, pointing out
that his position "doesn't guarantee
that your views or policies will be
carried out.
"He wasn't the king, just an elected
official. I suspect that he spoke out of
years of frustration dealing with
donors, board members, students and
others who probably wouldn't listen
to him ... Good for Dr. Schorsch for
letting loose with both barrels!"
Wrote another: "Schorsch is honest. In
time, when Reform and Conservative
Judaism merge, folks will quote is
speech. Very impressed!'
And someone who said he spent
seven years working for the move-
ment's youth program — including
serving as a regional director — said
he found "much of what Schorsch
states is sting-hurtin' true." ❑

Relief Aid Sought
United Jewish Communities/the
Federations of North America and
their overseas partner, the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
(JDC), are responding to help the
victims of the deadly earthquake in
Indonesia Saturday.
The 6.3 magnitude earthquake
struck a farming region south of
Yogyakarta, killing more than 5,400
people, injuring 15,000 and leaving an
estimated 200,000 people homeless,
according to news reports.
JDC, which is supported by UJC/
federations through the annual
campaign and by other sectors of
the Jewish community, has set up an
emergency mailbox to help victims of
the Indonesia quake, with 100 percent
of the donations going toward the aid.
JDC will continue to evaluate the
needs on the ground and address
them in the coming weeks. JDC has
also registered with Interaction, an
umbrella body of relief agencies based
in Washington, D.C., which coordi-
nates rescue and relief efforts for
disasters worldwide.
Support for victims of the Indonesia
earthquake can be sent by check to:
JDC: Indonesia Earthquake Relief, Box
321, 847A Second Avenue, New York,
NY 10017.
Online donations can be made
through the Web site lyris.ujcfedweb.
org/t/70313/1580648/4447/0/ or by
credit card at (212) 687-6200.
