Does the Council speak for the community? This question is posed deliberately for two reasons. Firstly, to discuss the actual role of the Council within the fabric of the Greater Van-cover Jewish Community. Secondly, to discuss the role the Council should play.
No single Jewish organization has a mandate to represent the entire community, which is made up of both individuals and organizations, each with its own point of. view, opinion aiidorieritation^ Synagogues, in addition to serving the spiritual and educational needs of their congregants, must of necessity approach community-wide problems from their individual perspectives. As there is no Synagogue Council, none of them are entitled to speak for all synagogue members, let alone those people who are not affiliated to ainy synagogue.
Zionist organizations such as Hadassah, United Jewish Appeal, etc. are also liniited in their representation and perspective. The Canada-Israel Committee,

while indeed more widely representative, is none-the-less limited to matters of concern with respect to Israel.
Canadian Jewish Congress would normally serve as a representative organization of the whole community. However, as presently constituted it is more directly concerned with matters of national /.concern.
This leaves the Jewish Community Fund and Council as the only local organization which can ymake any clain> to represent the-community as a whole where local issues are concerned.
In point of fact, however, even the Council is not truely repre-, sentative. Synagogues, National Council of Jewish Women, B'nai B'rith and the Zionist organization are not represented. It is only with respect to such things as endorsation that these groups have voluntarily agreed to abide by Council's rules.
-■^ What are some issues where local Council decisions were important? One that comes to mind arose in connection with the Kosygin visit. It was felt that Zionist organizations should not take the initiative of stimulating community response because 'the issue was not confined to relations with Israel.
'Under auspices of Council a meeting of leadership of the entire Jewish community, including synagogues, service organizations, Zionist organizations was convened.
One of the most contentious^ issues raised was whether to invite or sponsor attendance by Jewish Defense League leader Rabbi Meir Kahane at a rally. The decision was not to do so. . The impdS-tant point is that the Jewish Community Fund and Council took the initiative in establishing a consensus for action and because of the esteem in whieh Council is held, all the organizations and communal leaders responded positively.
