Maynard Bernstein, who founded a counseling and information center after one group sought to “...take one of my children” addressed some 800 to 900 people at a Concerned Oregonians meeting in The Dalles High Auditorium. It seats 983 and all but perhaps 100 seats on the balcony were filled.
... At one point in discussing the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh’s views on Jews, Bernstein said that “I’m here because all my life as a Jew I’ve been subject to tough anti-semitism... I don’t need him heaping more on me.” Bernstein said that his organization was a resource and counseling center.

He spent most of his 30-minute talk addressing various methods of what he considered “mind control” groups and addressed the Rajneesh on some particular points.
