Renewed Efforts IniMiddle East Israel Willing, Egyp| Uncertain
NEW YORK (JTA)-- promincnt American - Jewish educator 'and sociologist has assailed "the errors of Jewish community leadership" in America which "has niistakeniy identified its own affluence with the conditions of all American Jews,"
Dr. Judah J. Shapiro, who has long been associated with Jewish education and communal services declared, in , remarks prepared for delivery at a joint meeting of Paale Zion. Farband and theXAmerican Habonim Association here, "If the aim is Jewish com¬ munal survival and the strengthening^ of Jewish spiritual and cultural values,, then the decisions of that leadership are a record of almost total 'failure in 'comprehending what the true needs of A^ierican Jewry have been."
Dr. Shapiro attributed the failure to the fact that American Jewish leadership

"has been defined in terms of financial status and check ' writing, with no place in the communal councils for the competence and insights of those who express the spirit and culture of Jewry. What makes the matter desperately serious," he said, "is that there is no genuine concern with Jewish communU continuity, but only with this year's cam¬ paign and budget."
He cited as an example the finally star,ved plight of Jewish     ^education      in America. "A distinguished and honorable gentleman like Max Fisher who heads the   Council   of   Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, has recently en¬ dorsed support of Jewish   Vice - Chaifinan for the day-schools.

But despite their stunning numerical ' defeat, the Israelis — who had said before ijftf vote that they would^reject any, such resolution — shrugged it all off as ai "non-event" that said nothing new and was only a recommendation. It expressed an anti - Israel viewpoint of a^ majority of the Assembly, they ad¬ mitted, but 35 peraeht of the
