What The Press Is Saying
Editorial Round-Up
The Jewish Question, 1960
Last week we pointed out that the Jewish people are ready tor
a new kind of “Jewish question." The old "Jewish question,” which
was a sociological issue, has been answered, and by both good for
tune and disaster, the Jews have found rest, a place to live and
to build life. We are, therefore, ready -to raise new “Jewish ques
tions,” which are, in trull}, those questions with which we began
our hfrtory-irSKil. We are ready to ask the religious, moral and
ethical questions which the prophets and sages of Israel taught us:
how to perfect the world under the sovereignty of God? How to
embody in this society the biblical and rabbinic lessons about right
living? What ia wrong with the world, and how we shall right it?
How shall we save the world, and, with it, ourselves? The first
Jewish question we raise Is this: how will the Jew carry out his
responsibility to the Negro? ... A second Jewish question we raise
Is this: how will the Jew carry out his responsibility to the awaken
ing nations? ... Is Judasim, to the American Jew, ultimately the
Jewish-ethmc expression of the common, American faith? . .

Castro’s Jewish Diplomat
Premier Fidel Castro’s top diplomatic representative in Canada
is in charge d’affaire Manuel Stolik Novygrod, a 22-year-old Cuban
Jewish revolutionary. He is proud and happy to be of Jewish origin
and considers himself a loyal member of the Jewish faith, albeit
married to a Catholic girl who follows her faith . . . When intro
duced to Manuel Stolik Novygood, I greeted a clean-shaven, six-
foot plus handsome youth best described as still a “boychick.” He
understood Yiddish after-a fashion but couldn’t converse in “Mom
ma loshen,” so we conducted the interview through the medium of
his secretary . . Because of his preoccupation with the revolution,
the youthful Cuban leader had to sacrifice his Jewish education.
He stressed, however, than an older brother was truly Yiddish and
that a younger brother is being sent to cheder in Havana by his
brother . . . Stolik volunteered information that there are about
15,000 Jews in Cuba, who have a beautiful synagogue and two
Yiddish newspapers as well as publications in the Cuban language
. . . Stolik admits that he “is inspired and proud of the Jewish
State of Israel . . .”

For a United Jewish Spokesmanship
The American Jewish community, preeminent in size among
Jewish communities in the world, blessed with many endowments,
confronted with many problems still waiting for solution, charged
with many responsibilities towards Israel and the Jewish people,
and thriving in an atmosphere of democracy and freedom, owes it
to itself and to its responsibilities to Israel and world Jewry, to
establish a united, representative, democratically constituted spokes
manship. The lack of organized unity in American Jewish life has
resulted and will inevitably continue to result in confusion of coun
sels, unseemly competition among Jewish organizations for public
attention, a confused image of Jewish policy in the mind of the
American community and a weakening of the effectiveness of Jew
ish representations before governmental forums here and abroad.
It would be in the spirit of democracy to establish a unified, de
mocratically constituted Jewish spokesmanship m the United States
as has been done in Great Britain, Canada, France, Australia and
other democratic countries . . . The Rabbinical Assembly of Ameri
ca, whose 700 rabbis minister to congregations numbering nearly
one million American Jews, calls upon the Synagogue Council of
America to initiate action whereby the leading Jewish organiza
tions in the U.S. will meet in conference to consider the establish
ment of an American Jewish Assembly, and offers to help towards
that end.
