Mike Rogers
Debbie Stabenow
Rogers and Stabenow noted that Iran is
not just a threat to Israel but to everyone
in the world.
In another workshop about engag-
ing young Jewish adults, Detroit's
Rachel Lachover from Federation's
CommunityNEXT and other young
professionals from Boston and
Washington, D.C., encouraged chang-
ing longtime practices to engage and
keep young Jews involved in their
Jewish communities, such as good
programs working with Hillels on col-
lege campuses and providing mean-
ingful, purposeful projects of interest
to young Jews using new approaches.
One older Jewish leader, who
described herself as a member of
"Generation A," was befuddled by
studies that younger Jews do not relate
to Israel and may not understand the
importance of financially supporting
Jewish institutions.
Some of the young Jewish adults
gathered around her for a lively dis-
cussion. They shared her concerns, but
remain hopeful that younger Jews, in
spite of feeling complacent and safe,
will accept their obligations to give to
the Jewish community and "choose
Judaism."
Outgoing Chair Dr. Conrad Giles
summarized the difficulty in find-
ing solutions to the challenges facing
American Jews. He discussed the fact
that community relations successes
are often reflected by the lack of head-
lines. Giles encouraged Federations
and other funding entities to support
the work of community relations
agencies. E

ON THE BOARDWALK
New Policies Adopted
T
he Jewish Council for Public
Affairs adopted five resolu-
tions expressing the consen-
sus view of the organized American
Jewish community at its annual
Plenum in Detroit.
Attendees endorsed using federal
law to counter anti-Semitism on
American college campuses. The
resolution calls on campus leaders to
do more to make students safe from
anti-Semitism.
"In such circumstances, it is
important for the Jewish community
to serve as a resource and to offer
campus groups assistance, as need-
ed, to help them develop and imple-
ment strategies to protect Jewish
students on campus and allow them
to openly express their support for
Israel," the resolution stated.
Particularly, the resolution high-
lights provisions under Title VI of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which pro-
hibits discrimination based on race,
color or national origin in federally
funded programs.
Also adopted were resolutions
that support collective bargaining
for public employees, oppose gender
segregation in secular public spaces
in Israel, promote equal education
opportunity, and call for studies, dis-
closure, safeguards and oversight in
the hydrofracking industry. ❑
In addition, the JCPA elected Atlanta
Jewish community activist Larry Gold
as its new chair to succeed Dr. Conrad
Giles.
