New
Jewish-American Campus Network seeks "middle path" for peace.
The following press release has been received from the newly formed Tikkun
Campus Network. It is reproduced verbatim.
Can you help us reach students,
faculty and staff at any college, university, professional school or high
school?
We are creating a Tikkun Campus
Network--as part of our effort to create an alternative to AIPAC and to the
hate-mongers and war-promoters. The Tikkun Campus Network will be part of
our "middle path" --on the one hand, insisting on an end to the
Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and on reparations for the Palestinian
refugees, on the other hand insisting on an end to terror and advocating real
security for Israel and rejecting the path of those who have allowed righteous
indignation at Israel's policies to slide into denial of the legitimacy of
Israel or into anti-Semitism.
The Tikkun Campus Network will
also be challenging Bush's rush to war with Iraq, and it will be championing the
"New Bottom Line" (our call for institutions to be judged productive,
efficient and rational not only to the extent that they maximize money and
power, but also to the extent that they maximize love and caring, ethical and
ecological sensitivity, and awe and wonder at the grandeur of creation).
The Founding Conference of the
Tikkun Campus Network (TCN) is October 11-14 at John Jay College and Stephen
Wise Free Synagogue in New York City. It is not just for Jews, but for any high
school, college, graduate school or professional school student, faculty or
staff.
Speakers include:
Cornel
West Susannah Heschel

Kovel
Lev Grinberg
Ana Villa-Lobos Ofer Sharone
