In his new book, former U.S
President Jimmy Carter charges
that Israel's security fence and
the "honeycomb" of settlements
and roads behind it constitute a
permanent Israeli control over
Palestinian life.

The Answer:
In the Israeli political debate of
today, there is nothing perma-
nent about Israel's settlements
and the security barrier. For a
real peace, most Israelis are pre-
pared to take down or alter the
route of the barrier and remove
settlements. Even without a
peace agreement, Israel com-
pletely withdrew settlers and
the army from the Gaza Strip in
2005.

Epstein from page 28
strength is its commitment to
sustained and deep engagement
with the great issues of the day as a
community of believers in the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.
At this emotional turning point, it
is incumbent upon us to remember
that what binds us together is of far
greater importance than what sepa-
rates us.
We cannot shrink from the com-
plexity that Conservative Judaism's
weaving together of tradition and
modernity fosters.
It is perhaps no accident that
the same week the Law Committee
held its debate, the Torah portion
speaks of Jacob wrestling with God.
As a result of this encounter, Jacob
evolves into a stronger and wiser
person and is renamed Israel.
As we struggle forward, it is my
heartfelt prayer that as a result of
our wrestling with the issue we con-
front, we, too, will become stronger
as individuals and in our commit-
ment to Jewish living and to our
fellow Jews.
