Some Jewish groups welcomed Foxman's call.
Phyllis Snyder, president of the National Council of Jewish Women — which has opposed both of Bush's Supreme Court picks on pro-choice grounds — said her group was planning a daylong symposium on religion and state for March 2006. "We're very cognizant that the radical right has brought forth initiatives that don't allow minorities to have all rights," she said.

The president of the Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Eric Yoffie, said he would likely attend any parley Foxman convened, but he urged caution.

"I'm fundamentally sympathetic to the concerns, many of which we have raised," he said, "but we have to avoid apocalyptic language and... giving the impression that we are subjected to immediate danger to our well-being. America is big, diverse. Some of these people are our potential allies. We don't want to be perceived as attacking religious people."

Rabbi Jerome Epstein, executive vice president of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, said that Foxman had "put his finger on the problem" but "sometimes overacts."

"I'm always amenable to discussing, but I'd want to see the nature of the effort," Epstein said.
