"THE JOY AND GLOOM OF WORK"

"And Pharoah afflicted the children of
Israel with heavy labors and cruel task-
masters." Work for the Israelites develop-
ed into sheer drudgery. labor was torture.
But we know the importance of labor, the
necessity for work. In itself, work is
bland; its meaning is derived from the
values placed upon it. Rabbi Rothman in
his sermon of Friday, January 3, at 8:00
P. M., will discuss both aspects of labor
in "The Joy and Gloom of Work."

FROM THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE MTTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE UNION OF AMERICAN HEBREW CONGREGATIONS

Resolution on ADULT JEWISH STUDIES

The Jewish tradition emphasizes the lifelong study and application of Torah in
the daily lives of the Jewish people, considering them as Mitzvoth, Divine Command-
ments, and believed to be the basic causes for survival of Kiel Yisroel (the total-
ity of the Jewish Community).

The Reform Movement not only furthers this tradition, but is founded on the prin-
ciple that the beliefs and practices of Judaism must be intelligible to the adherents
of Reform Judaism.

Reform Judaism urges its adherents to guide their lives by our Jewish heritage
and is always striving to be worthy of continuous revelation...adding new values,
ideals, concepts and rituals in the spirit of our faith to meet the circumstances
and challenges fac1ng our people today and tomorrow. (Continued on Page h)

 

 FROM THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE h7TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UAHC (CONT'D FROM PAGE 3)

Learning and scholarly attainment have always been expected of synagogue leader-
ship, both rabbinic and lay, and the general membership of every congregation in-
variably looks to its leaders for example and guidance in the pursuit of Torah and the
application and interpretation of Reform Jewish principles in the daily administration
and long-range goals of Temple life. In fact, the motto of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, as inscribed in its official seal, quotes the Mishnah (Peah I:l):
”The study of Torah is comparable to all the other mitzvoth."

IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED that the h7th General Assembly of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations solemnly accepts and endorses the following recommendations to
its constituent congregational bodies: THAT THEY

Appoint or elect standing committees on Adult Jewish Education which would in-
clude representatives from the Temple and its affiliates, to plan and implement
high level programs in Adult Jewish Education.

Establish in the individual congregation an Academy For Adult Jewish Studies,
providing the necessary budget, personnel and facilities to implement a curri—
culum for systematic and continuous Jewish learning on an adult level comparable
to the Religious School program designed to meet the needs of the younger groups.

Set up standards for synagogue leadership which will include a heightened know-
ledge of and a deepened commitment to Judaism.

Offer seminars of enriched Jewish content for Temple leaders.
Arrange orientation sessions in Judaism for new congregational members.

Set aside some time for a D'var Torah (A word of Torah) at every meeting of the
membership, the Board, committees and affiliates, providing the Jewish background
to the agenda of these sessions.

Sponsor week-end Kallahs for the concentrated study of Torah for the quest of a
sense of the divine in a setting removed from mundane schedules, responsibilities,
worries and distractions.

Join with other congregations of their UAHC Region to organize Summer Adult
Jewish Education Institutes.

Provide opportunities for creative thinking and writing on the part of indivi-
dual congregational members who have completed the regular course of Adult Jewish
Studies, under the guidance and inspiration of rabbis and other scholars. Be it
finally

RESOLVED that the Reform Movement as a whole, the Union of American Hebrew Cong-
regations as the parent body of Reform Judaism, the rabbis, through the CCAR, the
officers, the Board members, and the congregants pledge themselves to do all in their
power to bring about the adoption and implementation of these projects and this pro-
gram in the field of adult Jewish education, to the end that every Reform Jew becomes
a more informed Jew, that everyone joining our Movement will be encouraged to parti-
cipate in these activities, and that we may serve as an example and inspiration to
our fellow Jews belonging to other branches of Judaism.

"JEWRY IN THE USSR"

One of the most stimulating sessions
of the recent Biennial of the UAHC was a
discussion of Russian Jewry. There are
close to three million Jews in the Sov-
iet Union today whose fate as a religious
and cultural group is unknown. Pressure
is being brought upon them, as a rel-
igious group, not as individuals. This
type of anti-Semitism is more insidious
than that experienced by Jews under the
rule of the Czars.

In his sermon of Friday, January 10,
at 8:00 P. M., the Rabbi will discuss
the Union Biennial generally and the
plight of Russian Jews specifically in
"Jewry In the USSR.”

 FROM THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE hTTH GENERAL ASSRhsLY
OF THE UNION OF AMERICAN HEBREW CONGREGATIONS

RESOLUTION 0N INTERFAITH

WHEREAS, the problems facing our society make it imperative that communication
be established and maintained among all faiths and that men of good will continue
to Join together in interfaith efforts to achieve their common ideals; and

RREREAS, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Central Conference of
American Rabbis and the Jewish Chautauqua Society, through their Joint Commission
on Interfaith Activities, recognize the importance of such a program of interfaith
dialogue and activity; and

WHEREAS, this interfaith program can be more effective if also carried on by
local congregations through appropriate organizational instruments;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is resolved that each congregation be encouraged to create
the congregational mechanism which will promote and carry on the interfaith pro-
gram of Reform Judaism by the formation of a congregational Interfaith Committee,
or by using an already existing coordinating arm of the congregation.

RESOLUTION 0N COMMITMENT TO RACIAL JUSTICE

Cognizant of the failure of our nation to achieve full and equal rights for all
its citizens, and recognizing the special potential of religious groups to lead in
the correction of this failure, we hail the National Conference on Religion and
Race, held in Chicago in January, 1963. At this meeting, for the first time in our
nation’s history, ranking representatives of the country’s major religious bodies,
including the UAHC and CCAR, met to confront the issue of race and to bring to bear
upon it the religious principles of their denominations.

So long as synagogue and church, and their memberships, are not completely free
of the taint of racism, the voice of America's religions cannot speak truly in
behalf of equality and freedom.

Acting in accordance with the mandate of this conference, we urge our member
congregations to apply the commitment and the tradition of Judaism to "Clean our
own house." we recognize that our congregations have not dedicated themselves
to the utmost of their influence, capacity, and energy in order to help resolve
the racial crisis.

we, therefore, recommend that each congregation formulate and implement a pro-
gram of action to achieve the following goals:

Racial justice in our congregation's administrative policies.

Racial Justice in our congregation's educational, cultural and worship
programs.

Racisl Justice in our congregation's cooperative relationships with other
institutions.

Racial Justice in the lives of our individual congregants.

”BIBLICAL LAW AND LIFE TODAY"

 

The section of Exodus which we read
his Sabbath includes the following pass-
,ge: ”One law shall you have for the home—
orn and the stranger who dwells in your
idst.”

It brings to mind the question of re-
ligious law generally and Biblical law
specifically. Just what function did
the Biblical law have? Why such specific
details and so careful and elaborate a
presentation of the laws by Moses to the
Children of Israel? And more, what do
they serve for us today? We speak of
holding the Bible near and dear; it is
a precious volume to us. But where do
these laws fit in? On Friday, January
17, at 8:00 P. M., the Rabbi will dis-
cuss these and related questions in a
sermon entitled ”Biblical Law and Life
Today.”

 FROM THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE RYTH GEhrRAL
OF THE UNION OF AMERICAN HEBREW CONGRF

RESOLUTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

 

The spiritual mandate of our prophetic Judaism compels us to translate into
reality the sacred ideal of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God.
Judaism not only condems all racial bigotry, it affirms the belief in the sanctity
of man created in the image of God. Judaism thus places a moral responsibility
upon its adherents to affirm the equality of all human beings as children of the
One Universal God.

Aware of and sharing the increasing and justifiable impatience within the Negro
community, we reaffirm our continuing support of our fellow citizens' just demands
for complete human rights now.

We urge, therefore:
a speed—up in the process of school desegregation throughout
the country. All too often this process has been impeded by
specious appeals for gradualism and by acquiescence in and
submission to de facto segregation in our nation’s public schools;

the enactment of urgently needed legislation to safeguard human
fights, implemented by the citizenry of our nation, bringing to
bear on their representatives in Congress every appropriate per-
suasion to prevent filibuster and political expediency from
defeating such legislation.

the strengthening of interreligious and interracial programs
of action in every community along the lines of the National
Conference on Religion and Race.

The rising social revolution in which all Americans are now irrevocably
involved makes clear that we must learn to live together as brothers if we
are to live together at all.

In the final analysis, racism is a moral evil and not merely a legislative
failure. It is, then, the people of America more than her institutions who now
stand on trial before the bar of judgment. The decisive factor in bringing
justice to all is what each of us does and feels and thinks. We urge the men,
the women, youth and children of our Movement to do all that is in their personal
power immediately to redeem the humanity of every American.

 

PREJUDICE

Whenever someone speaks with prejudice against a group... Catholics, Jews, Italians,
Negroes, someone else usually comes up with a classic line of defense. They will say,
"But look at Carver, look at Einstein, look at Toscanini, look at the President."
They mean well, do these defenders. But their approach is wrong. It is even bad.
What a minority group wants is not the right to have geniuses among them... but the
right to have fools and scoundrels without being condemned as a group.

"A JEWISH VIEW OF JESUS"

 

The recent UAHC Biennial saw a stir—
ring up of interest in the Jewish view
of Jesus because of a statement in an
address by Rabbi Maurice Eisendrath,
President of the UAHC. Why do Jews re-
ject Jesus as a divine being? What is
the general Jewish viewpoint of the cen-
tral figure of a daughter faith? Rabbi
Rothman will discuss these and related
questions on Friday, January 2h, at
8:00 P. M., in a sermon entitled "A
Jewish View of Jesus.”

Dear Rabbi Rothman,

 

As a spokesman for the students and
faculty at the Ashland Center, I would
like to thank you for giving us your
vigorous talks about what is happening
in regard to democratic concepts and
practices in the United States and the
world today, and also to thank the Jew-
ish Chautauqua Society for making your
visit possible. Your talks brought our
students up to date on certain facets
of this subject and make it clear that
the subject is enormously relevant.
Your remarks were full of ideas for them
to develop further in their minds. This
is exactly what we wanted from your
visit.

So looking at your visit from our
point of view at the Ashland Center, I
can say that it was an enormous success.
The students have responded warmly to
your ideas. Since students are amazing—
ly frank about their likes and dislikes,
I have a fairly accurate idea of what
they thought of your visit. On the
whole, our students were greatly stimu-
lated by your ideas and your approach.
I might add that you have started a
number of them thinking realistically
about our democracy for the first time
in their lives. Before, ideas about
democracy, in some of their heads at
least, were untried, pretty truisms.
Now, many of them can face the real
situation in this country and in the
world.

I have enjoyed becoming acquainted
with you and I feel that the educa-
tional value of your visit for the
students is incalculable. Perhaps you
feel this too. The surface reaction
is extensive, but the subconscious in-
fluences, most important of all, are
subtle and enormous.

Many of the faculty send their
warm regards. If we can ever be of
help to you, please let us know. Also,
I hope that you will consider making
another visit to us sometime. Again
let me thank you and the Jewish Chau-
tauqua Society for your stimulating
visit.

Sincerely,
/S/ George Edwards
