JOURNALIST TO GIVE SLU LECTURE ON ISRAELI POLITICS

CANTON - Award-winning journalist and author J.J. Goldberg will 
give the Rabbi Seymour Siegel Memorial Lecture at St. Lawrence 
University on Wednesday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in Herring-Cole 
Hall. His topic will be "American Jews and Israeli Politics," and 
the event is open to the public, free of charge.
	U.S. bureau chief of the Israeli newsmagazine Jerusalem 
Report and New York correspondent of the London Jewish Chronicle, 
Goldberg also writes a syndicated column that appears regularly in 
Jewish weeklies across America. His essays on Israeli and American 
politics appear frequently in The New York Times, Newsday and other 
papers.
	Goldberg is the author of the groundbreaking book Jewish 
Power: Inside the American Jewish Establishment (1996), which The 
New York Times called "a solid piece of work that can teach even the 
initiated a thing or two about American Jewish life in the postwar 
era." His previous books include The Jewish Americans (1992) and 
Builders and Dreamers (1993).
	He has won numerous journalism awards for his coverage of 
such issues as Catholic-Jewish relations, urban racial relations 
and more. In 1987, he won the Corporation for Public Broadcasting 
Award for his radio documentary on Jewish popular music in America, 
"One People, Many Voices," broadcast on National Public Radio.
	Rabbi Siegel was a noted Conservative Jewish author and 
scholar. His family donated his papers to St. Lawrence University's 
Owen D. Young Library and created an endowment for an annual lecture 
on campus in his memory.
