Rabbi offers prep-steps to
halt Jewish-Black conflict
NEW YOR K (JT A)— There can
be no dialogue with the Palestine
Liberation Organization as long as
it holds to its goal of destroying
Israel, Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld
declared at his installation as
president of the Synagogue
Council of America. "I have
reservations about calls to
dialogue with the PLO,” he said at
a ceremony at Lincoln Square
Synagogue following a meeting of
the Council Plenum last week. “I
learned in Mississippi there are
some limitations to the possibility
of dialogue. You cannot dialogue
with a person who has a knife at
your throat.
Lelyveld went to Mississippi in
1964 as part of a team of Cleveland
clergy for service as a minister-
counselor in that summer’s voter
registration effort. During that
stay he was badly beaten by
segregationists. In 1965, he
received an award “for
distinguished service to the
NAACP and the cause of freedom.”
He is a board member of the
Martin Luther King Center for
Social Change.
The rabbi suggested “four
preparatory steps” to prevent an
escalation of conflicts between
American Black and Jewish
communities: “...stop generalizing
about ‘leaders’ or giving that
designation to any one who is
quoted in relation to the current
rupture; analyze the areas of
difference, separating our
problems into manageable
blocks rather than mixing
affirmative action concerns
into the complex difficulties of the
quest for peace in the Middle East;
seek to understand each other’s
special point of view, and avoid
perjorative statements or efforts to
win “debating points.’”
Harsh things have been said
these last weeks by both Blacks
and Jews, Lelyveld said. "I felt hurl
at the widely publicized statement
that what Jews did to aid the Black
cause in the civil rights struggle of
the '60s they did in their own self-
interest. I reject this allegation as
untrue.”
Lelyveld is senior rabbi of
Fairmount Temple, Cleveland. He
is past president of the American
Jewish Congress and the Central
Conference of American Rabbis
and was national director of the
B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation.
