SO LO FOODS
. by Ben QaHob
The um by synagogues of such
gambling methods ss Las Vegas
Nights and bingo to raise funds
to help meet their budgets is
strongly opposed by the central
organizations of Reform,
Conservative and Orthodox con
gregations and does not appear
to be a significant problem for
any category of synagogues.
That conclusion emerged from
a telephone survey by the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency of the viewB
of officials of the (Reform)
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, the (Conser
vative) United Synagogue of
America, the Union of Orthodox
Jewish Congregations of
America and the (Orthodox)
Young Israel organization.
The survey was made after an
official of the Rabbinical Council
of America, an association of
Orthodox rabbis, declared that
leaders of the mgjor American
faiths should band together “to
combat the proliferation of Las
Vegas Nights and other forms of
blatant gambling in synagogues,
churches and religious in
stitutions” which he said “under
mine the religious character of
these institutions.” The New
York Federation of Reform
Synagogues called such fund-,
raising “self-condemned” and
urged member congregations to
reject it.
An official said the Central
Conference of American Rabbis,
the association of Reform rab
bis, declared in 1949 that such
gambling was “contrary to our
faith and tradition.” In 1976,
he ^aid^me^)f^he UAHCjs^
This Is a “no-no.”
nine regional directors made a
survey of the problem with 29
UAHC congregations respond
ing. Of these 23 did not per
mit gambling and four did. On
a question on whether the syna
gogue leadership was consider
ing use of such fund raising, 12
said no and six said yes.
On the specific issue of use of
Las Vegas Nights, the official
reported, UAHC regional direc
tors for the Northeast-Lakes
region and the South Pacific
region, expressed concern
recently over information that
some Reform congregations
were using Las Vegas Nights
and bingo. Since approval at the
New York referendum, he said,
two or three Reform con
gregations in the metropolitan
area were understood to have
started Las' Vegas Night fund
raising. He added that Reform
rabbis are speaking out strongly
against such fund-raising and
that the ITAHC did not expect it
to spread significantly. He es
timated that 10 to 15 percent of
UAHC congregations used bingo
regularly and that those con
gregations were mostly likely to
use Las Vegas Nights. The
UAHC doss not have authority
to punish congregations which
use gambling to raise funds.
Rabbi Benjamin Kreitman,
executive director of the United
Synagogues and a former
member of the Committee on
Jewish Law and Standards of
the Rabbinical Assembly, the
association of Conservative rab
bis, said that in the past the
United Synagogue had expelled
member congregations for
violating its ban on gambling,
specifically for bingo. He said
that on one occasion, there had
been a crackdown resulting in
the expulsion of 30 member con
gregations.

Nazism in the schools there.
Earl Raab, executive director of
the Jewish Community
Relations Council in San Fran
cisco, said the committee is a
direct answer to the opening of a
Nazi bookstore across from a
synagogue in a residential dis
trict at the southwest edge of
San Francisco. He said up to
now the efforts to provide educa
tion about Nazism had been
mainly an effort of the Jewish
community.
Raab said the bookstore was
boarded up April 5 following the
damage inflicted April 1 when a
group of more than 50 angry
JewB wrecked the store. The
owner of the building, Nathan
Green, an Auschwitz survivor
who rented the store not know
ing it was to Nazis, is in the
process of having the group
evicted. They have until April 15
to vacate the place.
Following the wrecking of the
Rudolf Hess Bookstore, rocks
were thrown at Temple B’nai
Emunah across the street,
smashing five stained-glass win-
dows. Two persons were
arrested in connection with the
wrecking of the bookstore,
Morris Weiss, a 55-year-old
Auschwitz survivor and his son,
Allen, 24, and charged with
malicious mischief and assault.
Rabbi Brian Lurie, executive
director of the Jewish Welfare
Fund of San Francisco, said the
Jewish community felt it was
“grotesque” that the Nazis
would have opened a store with a
swastika en the window in front
of a synagogue which includes in
its congregation many members
who had come through the
horrors of the Holocaust.
Raab said that the Nazis in
San Francisco have only 10-20
members and usually have to
bring members from outside
when they plan a major
