DAVID LAWRENCE
The President and His Party

Congress today, moreover,
not only possesses a clear
majority but controls every
committee In both Houses. In
committees, too, a combina-
ton Of two parties can block
action and actually is doing
so today In many instances.
So. for all practical purposes,
the coalition majority is, in
effect, repudiating the poll
icies Of the Democratic Par
ty leader-President Kenne-
dy.
In other countries, thsi re-
pudiation would be accepted
as sufficient reason for ask
ing the country by its votes
to decide at once whether q
new prime minister should be
chosen from the opposition
party or whether the existing
majority party should be CIV
en- a vote of confidence and
permitted to keep its leader
or select a new one from its
own party. Thus, the people
do the d eciding, and they
hold the incumbent party or
its leader responsible.
Today in the United
States. however, the Nation
has no clear idea Of who is
responsible for the stalemate
in Government. The concept
Of presidential leadership is
fuzzy. The talk in the press is
that President Kennedy is
popular" and the public
opinion polls are cited to
support the idea. But a for
eign observer would ask how
a President can be popular If
he cannot command a ma
iority in the national legisla-
ture.
In off-year elections, when
the names of the presidential
nominees are not on the bal
lot, a clear-cut example of a
mandate is rarely furnished
by the electorate. Indeed, in
the November. 1862, congress
sion a ! elections there were
more Republican tn n
Democratic votes cast in the
regions outside the Solid
South, but the Democratic
Party nevertheless furnished
enough m e bers to make
virtually a two-thirds major
ity. Yet everybody knew that
Southern Congressman don't
agree with the administra-
tons viewpoint.
When, however, the Demo-
Gratis retained their MAORI
ties in both Houses Of Con-
gress in the national election
in 1862, this was hailed by
Mr.. Kennedy's supporters as
a victory for him. Yet to-
day-12 months later-the
Democratic Party has failed
to get the support Of its ma
jority in both Houses to pass
the legislation the President
has demanded. The conclu-
sion that would be drawn
abroad is that the people of
this country, through their
congressional representatives,
diSapprove of the legislative
program proposed by the
Democratic Party's national
leader and want a change in
leadership.

the community at large or liv-
ing in a ghetto where the best
hearts, minds and spirits of the
people would be lost for fu-
ture generations. The reform
ers saw danger, and they took
action.
The reformers were not as
similationists, nor did their
thinking lead to the path of
Rehabilitation. Their concern
was to reform, but not to de-
form. Their goal was to uplift,
not to break down the truths
of the Jewish faith. They were
great believers in scholarship,
and they formulated such So
cieties as the Science of Jud-
aiSm, to try to make Judaism
a historic science so that peo-
pie could approach it and learn
to understand the values of the
past and how these values
could relate to the future.
The reformers were. COM
mitted to their Jewishness
and would not consider a
break from the Jewish COM
munitY. They proposed that
they should become leaders
in the community. setting a
pace for others to follow. The
selections in DR.. Plaut's book
demonstrate that il was the
reformers who pioneered the
pathways which have be-
come the model for Judaism
in the American community.
It was reform that first held
the confirmation class, intro
dused the late Friday night
service. mixed seating. the
organ. and the mixed choir.
Reform Judaism in its early
days proclaimed something
which was truly idealistic and
universal, the belief that the
Jew had mission to the
world. This the reformers
termed "The Mission of Is
rael." It's ideal was to bring
the teachings of Judaism to all
mankind. The hope of the re-
formers was not that reform
Judaism would try to convert

others but that it could pro-
pound its ideals and proclaim
its heritage to all mankind. DR..
Samuel Holdheim of the re-
form Berlin society wrote,
'This, then is our task: To
maintain Judaism within the
Jewish people, and at the same
time to spread Judaism among
st the nations; to protect the
sense of the Jewish unity and
life and faith without dinin-
ishing the love Of man." The
great mission of Jews should
be to show that ethical mono
thism is still the hope for man
kind.
One of the most controver-
sial reform changes concern
ed the covering of the head.
A study of Jewish history
shows that the early Biblical
tradition was to pray with
out head covering; in fact.
we know from Talmudic
sources that the subject of
head covering was never a
matter of law. The covering
of the head was an oriental
custom which entered into
Jewish life as a matter of
habit rather than a matter
of principle.
DR.. Gunther Plaut's anthol-
ogy shows that much of the
great controversy over reforms
changes has been caused pri-
marily by an ignorance of true
tradition. AS Rabbi Abraham
Giger writes in one of the Sc
lections, What is fundamental
is the faith, and this you share
with us, this faith which is in
possession of you and your an
ceStors." The hope that every
Jew has a place in Judaism is
the hope of reform.

However, there are a few
rabbis today who have distin-
guished themselves in this
field. One of them is Rabbi
w. Gunther Plaut of the re-
form Holy Blossom Temple in
Toronto, Canada. His scholar
ship includes books in Jewish
history, a commentary on The
Book of Proverbs. and the phil
osophical study Judaism and
the Scientific Spirit. He has
served as a contributing edi-
tor to the Universal Jewish
Encyclopedia.
Just off the press is his new
book, The Rise of Reform Jud-
aism, a source book of reform
Judaism's European origin and
development. There is confu-
sion today as to why there was
a need for reform and what
reform originally attempted to
accomplish. Most of us have
vague knowledge because the
source material was written in
German and in books long for
gotten or even lost. 1t took the
scholarly mind and patience of
Rabbi Gunther Plaut to bring
it to life again. His book is an
anthology which will bring to
readers a way to look into
those founders hearts and
minds.
The great attack upon re-
form was the accusation that
it tried TO do away with the
essentials of the Jewish
faith. DR.. Plaut grapples
with this problem as he
shows how reform Judaism
developed out of the Jews
great need to be dynamic. to
allow his restless spirit TO
reach higher and higher.
Without change. the reform
ers believed. the Jew is a
relic of the past.
Reform Judaism refused to
be buried. It saw the future not
as a misfortune but as a great
opportunity. 1t wanted to move
Judaism out of the ghetto
which buried genius and for
ward into the arena of modern
thought. Reform Judaism want
ed to show that its concept of
brotherhood was in harmony
with the American and French
revolutions of its time. 1t want
ed to make Judaism living, not
dying.
One of the most defiant cri-
ticisms of reform Judaism to
this day is that it is not Jew
ish. The criticism is that it apes
the non-Jewish world and
strives to put Judaism. in a
form contrary to its spirit. Dr.
Gunther Plaut fights a courag-
eous battle to prove the con-
trary. The fact is that many
reform Jews do not understand
the real motivation behind the
work of the reformers. They
do not know the tremendous
struggle with which the early
reformers fought for their con-
victions.
A crucial problem faced the
Jew in the process of emanci-
patton. He saw two choices:
