 JINSA Online -- JINSA Letter to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (January 23, 2001)
I have just returned from Israel and am anxious that my thoughts about the Presidents Conference's procedures in connection with the recent rally for a United Jerusalem and Ronald Lauder's participation in that rally be set down on paper for all members of the Conference to see.
Fortunately, the Presidents Conference has a Chairman who understands that and I salute him not only for knowing it but for doing the right thing despite the yapping at his heels of smaller, less worthy people.
If Ronald Lauder's participation in the rally was understood by some to represent the Conference of Presidents (although he did not), then it is only to that extent that the Conference is saved from the shame it brought on itself by failing to strongly endorse his presence there on its behalf.
