Community Institute
On Jewish Family
Take Place
On Sunday, April 1, the
Community Institute on the
Jewish Family will take
place at The Jewish Center.
In recent years the critical
role the family plays in Jewish continuity has received
wide recognition. Also
receiving recognition, and
concern, are the many
changes taking place within
the Jewish family.
The Institute will have five
separate workshops, each
focusing upon a critical issue
impacting upon the Jewish
family and its constituent
members. These five, issues
are: Intermarriage, Divorce
and the Single Parent
Family, Changing Roles of
Men and Women, Child
Development: Child Rearing
Practices and Expectations,
and Adaptation to Mobility: -
Substitutes and Supports.
Each of these issues is
effecting Jewish family life
today and will influence the
future of Jewish life in years
to come.
Of the various changes
effecting Jewish family life
some^re common to Ameri-
caiT Wftar&B&ar$^'"
others are distinctly Jewish.
Intermarriage is of special
concern to Jews, though
obviously not confined to
Jewish people. In recent
months intermarriage has
become more controversial
than ever. Some see this
growing phenomenon as a
threat to the very-survival of
Judaism, while others are
less concerned, and still
others see non-Jewish
spouses of Jews as potential
converts who can swell' the
ranks of Judaism.
Other factors such as the
changing roles of men and
women and the' increasing
rate of divorce are common
to American living and Jewish life. They both effect the
lives of growing numbers of
people, yet influence .the
, very dynamics of community living.
Will fathers become more
" active in child rearing as
more wives join the labor
force? Will working mothers
neglect their nurturing roles
as too many fathers have?
And can single parents provide the nurturing their
children , require without
depleting their own
energies?
These  and  many  other
factors will be discussed,
analyzed and planned during
the    five    workshops
scheduled for the Institute on
■    the Jewish Family. While
x -problems will be analyzed,
'    each   workshop   will   be
;    charged   to   recommend
[; ,    specific courses of action
I '    that can be taken in regard
to each issue considered.

JERUSALEM (WNS)-
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan has caused a furor in
Israel by saying that the
Palestine Liberation
Organization can not be
denied a role in the peace2
making process. "The PLO
is not a state, (but) we cannot deny their position or
their value in the conflict but
eventually in order to reach
an agreement," Dayan said
in English to a world convention of Jewish war
veterans. "It isn't just the
terrorist- or the terrorists
organization. Tt's also the
civilian part of it, that is to
say that Palestinian
refugees. No one, and certainly we do not think that a
final settlement of the conflict in the Middle East can
be achieved without a settlement of the refugees, (or)
that they can go on living in
refugee camps in Jordan, in
Lebanon, even in Gaza..."
The Foreign Ministry later
tried to interprete Dayan's
remarks. Mini-try spokesman Naftali Lavie said.
- Dayan ited~neither asserted'
nor meant any. change in
Israel's policy on the PLO.'
"Nowhere in his remarks did
the Minister say that the
PLO could be considered by
Israel as a negotiating
partner," Lavie said.
Dayan    was    strongly.
criticized for his statement
by members of the governing Likud. MK Avraham
Sharir, chairman of the
Likud Knesset faction,
called publicly for Dayan to

Rabbis Ask Community Tb Join
In Sabbath Reaffirmation
-    "Havarim Kol Yisrael... the entire Jewish People
is one fellowship..." (from the prayer welcoming the
'   new month)
Jews everywhere are today united in the desire for
peace. It is in this unity that the real source of our Jewish strength is found. We know that the Jewish People
is one. Peace is something, which after nearly 31 years,
may soon become a reality in the Middle East. We urge
every Columbus Jew to reaffirm his or her participation in the work of the United Jewish Fund Campaign by making their generous contribution for peace.
On behalf of the Columbus Board of Rabbis, we call on
every individual member of every Congregation in Col-s
umbus to join us in supporting this fund raising drive
which benefits our many local agencies as well as
Israel.
Now is the time for every Jew to share in the
activities of the United Jewish Fund and to join in worship this coming Shabbat as the synagogues of Columbus observe the annual Federation Sabbath/ We
urge that every member of the Jewish community
• attend services, in the synagogue of his or her choice,
this coming Shabbat, to reaffirm our total commitment
to the United Jewish Fund Campaign. For Israel,-for
ourselves as American Jews, for our local community, _
it is imperative that we support, participate in and
strengthen the activities of tlje Columbus Jewish Federation..
