The Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith is filing an
Amicus Curiae brief in support
of ten Jewish delegates who have
asked a federal judge to delay
the State Democratic
about the American presidency,
but may also tell us some things
of a deeply spiritual nature
about ourselves. The aftermath
of this “national nightmare”
does, I think, have great bearing
on us as Jews.
The immediate concern is, of
course, of a political nature. The
unification of our nation and the
continued support of the Jewish
people’s needs in Israel, the
Soviet Union, and elsewhere.
But beyond that there is another
concern of Jews. As a people
deeply immersed in American
life, we must recognize that
these events have an effect on
our Judaism as well. 1 fear the
growing cynicism of all
Americans undermines our
youth’s willingness to accept a
moral or religious authority. If
American leadership is corrupt
then perhaps Jewish leadership is
as well. Or more important, if

to rely on?
To begin addressing this issue,
which I believe to be quite
serious, I invite you to read from
a book of Jewish ethics entitled
“The Just Measure” published in
1705; “I shall now offer a
reason for the term ‘nesiim,”
which the Bible uses to describe
the leaders and heads of the
people. If a man is worthy and
conducts himself in a G-d-fearing
manner, he is elevated or raised
high. ‘Naso’ means to elevate,
and ‘nesiim,” therefore, means
‘those who are elevated.’
Furthermore, in the
world-to-come his soul gains
immortality on the same level as
the holy and the righteous.
However, if a man does not
conduct himself properly, he
will vanish without a trace, as do
the ‘nesiim,’ the clouds and the
