Ask Primacy
For Synagogue

NEW YORK (JTA) - The
charge that organized lay
forces in the American Jewish
community are "usurping the
prerogatives of religious lead
ership, barging in where the
place belongs clearly to the re-
ligious r epres S e n a ton of
American JeWry" was made
at the concluding session of
the general assembly of Jew
ish religious leaders spon-
sored by the Synagogue Coun-
Gil of America, central repre-
sentative body of the Ortho-
dox, Conservative and Reform
movements in this country.
The Assembly issued a
statement warning that "un-
less the synagogue retains or
regains it's primacy, Jewish
life is bound to atrophy and
Jews and Judaism are likely
to perish" The statement call
ed for "the restoration of the
synagogue to centrality in or
ganized Jewish life in Amer
ica."
The keynote of the gather
ing was set by Rabbi Abraham
Feldman of Hartford, vice
president of the Synagogue
Council. "It is not our chari-
ties, not our homes for the
aged, not our orphanages, not
our hospitals, not our COM
munity centers and not even
Zionism that can preserve the
Jewish heritage. The preserv-
alton of all that is significant
in Jewishness is dependent
upon the synagogue" he said.

ranking leaders of the Zionist
Organizations of America call

Gil, declared: "More than 300
Congressional candidates dur

ment of arms to the Arab
states" He voiced the hope
"that these who thus went on
record will recognize that they
have a clear duty to make
their influence felt in the Con-
gresS and in the Administra-
ton in this direction"
The delegates. assembled
from all parts of the country
also heard and endorsed a
statement made at the meet
ing by DR.. Emanuel Neumann,
chairman of the ZOA execu-
tive committee, warning that
the newest manifestations of
anti-Semitism and neo-NaZism
in Germany, at the German
party rally last week, threaten
to "disqualify the Bonn Re-
