...understandably and legitimately dismayed by random crime, burning ghettos, disrupted universities and violent demonstrations in downtown streets, law and order is a rallying cry that evokes quieter days. To some, it is also a shorthand message promising repression of the black community.

Some synagogue leaders contend that historical tradition does much to stimulate student commitment to radical causes. Says Rabbi Alfred Jospe, director of programs for the Hillel Foundations: "From experience, the Jew knows that whenever inequality exists, the Jew suffers as much as anyone. If we cannot exist...
