>>  3. How do you construe the lecture on Tehilim at the JCC on the
Palisades? Is the inclusion of Non_ Rabbis a fatal flaw in  Austritt?<<

I don't know anything about this lecture of  which you speak,  but 
non-Orthodox Jews, clergy or laypeople, should never  be asked to lecture on Torah 
subjects.  If you want a Reform guy to give a  lecture on how to do CPR, that's 
fine.
 
My father was totally opposed to Orthodox participation  in Federation and 
JCCs.  JCC Judaism is a large part of what has made  such a churban of American 
Jewry, and even on C/R terms, it hasn't  worked.   Swimming together on 
Shabbos at the JCC has NOT made Jewish  boys and girls more likely to marry each 
other.
