Mixed marriage children
‘make news, not Jews?’
The proposal made by Rabbi
Alexander Schindler, president of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations (Reform), to
recognize children of non-Jewish
mothers in mixed marriages
“makes news but not Jews,"
Agudath Israel of America, an
Orthodox Jewish movement,
recently declared.
The statement asserts that
"Halachk determinants are being
rewritten to serve the whims of
these Jews who choae to marry out
. of .The fold; when the Jew and
Torah law an on a collision
course, it is the individual who
mast adjtt**„ and correct his
actions, and not our timeless
tenets."
Agudath Israel said there was
nothing new in Schindler’s
proposal since the Reform group
has not honored in any case the
requirements for membership in
Judaism as defined by Torah law.
"The Reform rabbinate has long
overlooked the classical definition
of Jews by officisting at
intermarriages and accepting
spurious converts against Haiachic
principle."
The statement continued by
offering advice to the Reform
movement which it said was in a
desperate itatc because of its
inability to keep its youth within
the Jewish foM. "History has
shown that a Judaism not bniied on
Hatacha simply has no Nhue, the
only wap Reform can ensure the
continued existence of its
constituency it by returning to
authentic Judaism," it said.
Agudath Israel also criticized
Israel’s opposition leader Shimon
Perm’ pledge to the Reform'
convention to work for
"recognition of afl streams of
Judaism in Israel." accusing the
Israeli fender of "Setting Jewish
ideals for dollars."
"While Peres and his colleagues
have repeatedly cautioned the U.S.
against exchanging principle*'for
oil, he docs not follow his own
advice on Jewish religious issues,"
the statement asserts. "Peres, by
. . .A.'kC . . I,. t. ■ y
•YVVWY*V*>YbV*>>Ve>>*V.*'
promising Reformers to fulfill
their desires in Israel, is in effect
bartering Jewish survival and
Jewish ideals for the dollars of the
Reform temples. He is obviously
buckling under the threat of the
Reform group to cut off funds to
Israel if they are not granted
official sanction," Agudath Israel
declared.
