During the social upheaval of the late 1960s, Conservative Judaism became a forum for intense debate over Jewish responses to war, conscience, and religious innovation. Three communications published in the journal reveal how Jewish leaders grappled with questions of political loyalty, moral duty, and religious authenticity. Herbert H. Rose challenged the simplistic hawk-dove dichotomy in discussions of Israel and Vietnam, arguing that both conflicts stemmed from Soviet influence and required negotiated settlements rather than appeasement. His comparative analysis identified parallels between Soviet support for Arab forces against Israel and communist backing of North Vietnam, advocating for diplomatic solutions while maintaining resistance to totalitarian expansion. Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins explored the moral dimensions of draft resistance, drawing upon Jewish historical experience as dissenters to defend individuals' rights to follow conscience over governmental mandates. A third exchange between Jack Gottlieb and Max Wohlberg continued their ongoing debate over contemporary synagogue music composition and liturgical innovation. Together, these communications illuminate how Conservative Jewish thinkers navigated the complex intersection of religious tradition, moral conviction, and political responsibility in an era of profound change.
