leaders for a unique five day

The concurrent missions
offered for community
Women's Division and Project Renewal chairpersons
provided for an in-depth
study of the human needs
and issues encompassed by
the 1984 Campaign. "We
were provided with a firsthand view of programs and'
services funded through our
UJA campaigns and saw the
progress made in bringing
the residents of Israel's distressed communities into the
mainstream of Jewish life
through Project Renewal,"
stressed Krupman. Cheses
added that what they saw
and heard not only underscored the need but also
helped to intensify the pride
we should feel in our "work
and contribution for our people in Israel."

0. Herzog Affirms Right Of
iaspora To Criticize Israel
express an opinion about-
what is happening in Israel
and about Israeli policy."
But, in his address to the
closing session of the 22nd
International Conference of
the World Union for Progressive Judaism, Herzog qualified that right by asserting
that criticism of Israel
should not be aired in public,
but rather discussed within
the confines of Jewish
circles. He stressed further
that "while advice and criticism should be open and be
regarded as legitimate, it
must be given under the
prior understanding that the
final decision rests with
those who have to bear the
consequences of any policy ,
or political or military decision," meaning Israelis.
Herzog's position on an
issue which developed into a
major theme during the
week-long conference,
seemed to fall somewhere
between a declaration by the
delegates asserting "the
right of diaspora Jews to
exercise a vigorous involve
ment in issues which con- .
cern their fellow Jews living
in the Jewish State".and the
blunt statement by Energy
Minister Yitzhak Modai, in
his address to the gathering
two weeks ago that diaspora
Jews "have no right to get
involved in political debates
concerning Israel's security."
Modai delivered that injunction a few evenings after
Rabbi Richard Hirsch,
executive director of the
World Union,, spoke out
forcefully "in support of the
right of diaspora Jewry to
have a say in Israel's domestic and foreign policies."
Hirsch referred specifically
to the controversy over
Israeli settlement on the
West Bank and their consequences. The delegates
appeared upset by Modai's
comments.
President Herzog intimated in his speech that the
way for diaspora Jews to
widen the scope ■ of their
influence over affairs in
Israel   is   to  cease   being
diaspora Jews and settle v
here. He recalled that then
Premier David Ben Gurion.
"said 35 years ago that there..
was nothing to prevent you
from increasing your constituency by immigrating
from abroad which would
give you a stronger and perhaps more decisive voice
within the framework of the
difficult debate in this country and could thus influence
the developments in Israel in
the direction desirable to
you."
Nevertheless, Herzog observed, "Your non-Jewish
environment has decided,
whether you like it or not,
and many 'probably don't .
like it, to identify you with
Israel, for good or for bad.
As a result of that, Israel
cannot dare ignore the
effects of our policy and
actions on world Jewry. This
leads me to the conclusion
that you always have and
continue to have a right to.
express an opinion about
what is happening in Israel
and about Israeli policy."'
