U. S. Jews Reported Continue
Tradition of Liberalism
HARRIMAN, N.Y, (JTA) —
Unlike the general population in
America in which there is a
growth of conservatism with a
rise in affluence, American Jews
tend to maintain their tradition
of liberalism despite their rising
position on the economic ladder,
Mr. Graenum Berger of the Fed
eration of Jewish Philanthropies
of New York declared at the two-
day Conference on Welfare
State—Welfare Society held un

Mr. Berger is a consultant of the
Federation and has also been in
charge of Jewish population
studies. He is a member of the
New York City Anti-Poverty
Board.
In another paper, Professor
Paul Schreiber, di/ector of the
School of Social'Work at Hunter
College, declared that although
Israel's and America’s social ser
vice programs "traveled different
routes, their current position is
marked by a number of similar
features" and faced with similar
problems. He criticized both
systems which he said are rooted
in “19th century ideology” but
that both are struggling to evolve
a welfare system and policies
which "express and implement
the philosophy of a modern
state.”
Prof. Schreiber said that the
placing of the Welfare Ministry
in the hands of the, National Re
ligious Party in Israel is “an in
dication and reflection of the role
welfare plays” in the State. The
Ministry is well administered'and
its policies and staff reflect a
"genuine concern for the welfare
of the people,” he declared But
welfare is regarded as one of the
“less important areas of State re
sponsibility, and because of its
connotation of tzedaka, is con
sidered more appropriate for the
Religious Party than for Mapai,”
the Labor Party.
Dr. Judd L. Teller, executive
vice-chairman of the American
Histadrut Cultural Exchange In
stitute said that the Jewish tra
dition of using leisure time for
study is being undermined in
Israel, partly by the “affliction”
of “American Levantinism,"
characterized by the commercial
ized uses of free time and ex
cesses in living standards. Dr.
Teller said that the impact of
what he called American Levan
tinism, together with the less
austere traditions of certain
groups of immigrants plus the
process of industrialization are
leading to a “weakening of the
will to accept the rigorousness of
the society’s values and . . . pro
test against the values them
selves.”
The American Histadrut Cul
tural Exchange Institute was
established in 1964 to create a
forum between the Histadrut in
Israel and American experts and
laymen concerned, like the Hista
drut, with the s Jut n of socal
problems, on a worldwide basis.
The Institute arranges confer
ences on and off campuses, and
plans to offer fellowships to
American graduate students to
study at Histadrut institutions.
