In a recent Issue of the of the Central conference of american rabbis he has reviewed All of the Standard arguments advanced by both friends and foes of Reform Judaism As a movement in Israel. One of the Standard arguments is that if Reform despite some pushing from the world Union for progressive Judaism is now barely existent in Israel it is probably because there is Little indigenous demand for it. And or. Petu Cizowski notes the a few Small Conte nations a currently in existence is not for Lack of rabbinical leadership. A substantial number of German and hungarian Liberal rabbis have come to Israel As immigrants but a not a single one of them is serving As a Liberal or Reform rabbi in the state of even allowing for the fact that non orthodox rabbis do not qualify for rabbinical employment in Israel it seems reasonable to believe that if there had been a a burning desire to establish Reform congregations a Liberal jews be Able to maintain at least in part their own rabbis. Then there is the argument that those israeli jews who Are religious will want a the genuine tradition while a those who have freed themselves from the tradition Are not going to suddenly espouse the Man made a holiness of Reform there is the argument that Reform Judaism has an anti zionist and anti Hebr Aist background and that the rabbis who objected to Herzl a holding the first zionist Congress in Munich were Reform rabbis. Some of these arguments have Merit but most do not in or. Be Tuchowski a opinion. He contends in summary that Reform jews Are in Israel by right and a not As freaks to be but he argues All the evidence that can be cited in support of that right cannot alleviate a a mistrust founded on the very nature of both Reform Judaism and the present predicament of the state of Aad this is the Crux of the Issue he believes. The nature of Reform Judaism is that it has remained constant in one aspect that of conceiving of the Lewish people a was a Means to an end rather than an end in this is what the much debated a Mission to Israel is All about. Israel a the people not the state a was chosen to serve god and humanity. The reason for the existence of the jews As a people was to be the Quot servant of the Quot not what is a Good for the jews but what is just and what is rights that was to be the determining the state of Israel on the other hand a puts the jew first. There Are reasons for it and there Are obvious excuses for it a or. Petu Chowski notes Quot but the fact must be faced. If a Reform synagogue in Israel were to preach that what is a Good for the jews a what promotes the strength and Security of the state of Israel is Piso Facto morally Good holy and divine a then there might Well be a mass conversion to Reform Judaism in Israel. But As Long As Reform Judaism maintains its prophetic heritage As Long As it dares to proclaim that even Israel is under the judgment of god so Long will the average israeli react to Reform Judaism with mistrust he contends. This mistrust he adds goes All the Way Back to the beginnings of zionism literature and the Hebr Aist polemics against the a Mission of in fact. Or. Petu Chowski argues a fall the Otner criticisms of and attacks against Reform Judaism Are merely the surface manifestations of toys Basic mistrust. It is the mistrust of the cosmopolitan by the nationalist the particular Sta fear of the the task of Reform in Israel is to allay this mistrust without becoming untrue to itself. Or. Petu Chowski doubts that a this task can be accomplished within the life Span of our the fact is that a life in Israel is a besieged fortress a requiring a state of constant military preparedness which in turn nurtures a an exaggerated patriotism. This is no time for the mood of prophetic perhaps or. Petu Chowski suggests modern Israel needs greetings Union starch amp refining co., inc. A period of adjustment and adaptation and presumably an end to its fortress predicament As Well before it will be ready for significant growth in the realm of the spirit. In the meantime Quot witness must be borne and testimony Given. Herein lies the purpose of the few existing Reform congregations in Israel and herein lies the function of the hebrew Union College biblical and archaeological school in Jerusalem and particularly of its College when the proper time comes a a Model service adapted to local needs will be there waiting for the israelis at the College synagogue a waiting to be imitated in other parts of the a if at the moment Reform Judaism is regarded As a curiosity and Many of the curious come to watch and to listen even the curious May one Day turn into the committed a or.
