  Yes the survival of the Jewish people is good for anything Jewish.

  Just to avoid any misunderstanding of my previous concise letter; I =
did not take any position whether the survival of the Jewish people =
is/was good (for the Jews/the world), was it worth or not. It is an open =
question for each one to think ad decide
