This scholarly correspondence examines the contemporary relationship between Judaism and the New Left movement through an epistolary exchange between Rabbi Jacob Chinitz and Robert Saks. The primary methodology involves critical analysis of journalistic responses to the murder of Rabbi Adler and evaluation of New Left attitudes toward Jewish institutions. Chinitz argues that media coverage disproportionately focused on the perpetrator rather than the victim, and contends that New Left opposition stems from fundamental rejection of Jewish identity, faith, and religious practice rather than mere criticism of institutional hypocrisy or materialism. He challenges Saks' recommendations for synagogue reform, asserting that modest structural changes would not attract New Left adherents to Jewish religious life. Saks responds by clarifying misconceptions about New Left ideology and organization, particularly regarding the Chicago convention's anti-Israel resolutions, arguing that such positions reflected political pragmatism rather than inherent anti-Semitism. The key findings suggest that the conflict between Judaism and New Left activism represents deeper ideological tensions beyond superficial institutional critiques. The correspondence concludes that while synagogue reforms remain necessary independent of New Left concerns, the movement's primary focus lies in civil rights, anti-war activism, and social justice rather than systematic opposition to Jewish religious institutions.
