In South Africa, the tour was expected to reopen the doors to international competition for the Springboks after an anti-apartheid sporting boycott had forced the sport into relative isolation during the 1970s. In the face of much international condemnation, the Springboks toured to New Zealand and the USA in 1981 where they encountered large and often violent demonstrations as those who opposed the tour attempted to scuttle it.

    Special Articles Jewish Education in the United States: Recent Trends and Issues BY JACK WERTHEIMER L/ON, G REGARDED BY EDUCATORS AND THEIR ALLIES as the ne- glected "step-child"1 of the American Jewish community, the field of Jew- ish education finds itself at the close of the 20th century the object of in- tense scrutiny and great expectations. Writing of the current "plastic moment" in American Jewish education, the historian Jonathan Sarna sees it as one of "abundant innovations, an unlimited number of poten- tial directions, innumerable theories, and vast uncertainty."2 Perhaps never Note: I wish to acknowledge with appreciation a number of individuals working in the field of education who gave generously of their time and expertise to answer my questions and steer me toward sources of information. At the William Davidson School of Jewish Education of the Jewish Theological Seminary, I consulted with Aryeh Davidson, Barry Holtz, and Carol Ingall. Mary Boys of Union Theological Seminary and Linda Vogel of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary helped me with the larger context of religious education in America. At the Jewish Education Service of North America, Jonathan Woocher and Leora Isaacs conversed with me at length; Paul Flexner and David Shluker provided valuable data. At other Jewish institutions based in New York I was advised by: Robert Abramson of the Education Department at the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and Jan Katzew, his counterpart at the Union of American Hebrew Congregations; Steven Bayme of the Department of Jewish Communal Affairs at the American Jewish Committee; Jerome Chanes of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture; Alisa Kurshan at the Continuity Commission of the UJA-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of Greater New York; Yossi Prager and Marvin Schick at the Avi Chai Foundation; Nessa Rapaport of the Mandel Foundation; and Elliot Spack of the Coalition for the Advancement of Jew- ish Education.
