Rabbi Herbert Weiner, of
South Orange, N. J., who-re-
cently spent a month survey-
ing religious conditions in Is-
rael, told the convention that
.while Orthodoxy is flourishing
in the Jewish state, "many
thousands are dissatisfied with
strict traditionalism and are
hungry for a faith attuned to
the cadence of modernity.
"A Liberal Judaism," he said,
"would fill the void for many
intellectuals and young people
who are essentially pious but I
abstain from synagogue affilia-
tion."
A vigorous debate took place
at a session over the issuance of
a manual of religious practices.
Harold W. .Dubinsky, president
of the National Federation of
Temple Brotherhoods, declared
that recent surveys had estab-
lished that Reform Jews are in-
troducing many ceremonies in
their synagogues and homes.
Opposing the issuance of such
a guide of rituals. Rabbi James
G. Heller, of New York, con-
tended that Reform Judaism's
"historic attitude of liberalism
makes a fixed code unthink-
able." A similar view was ex-
pressed by Rabbi Nathan Peril-
man, of Temple Emanu-El, New
York. •

Rabbinical Leaders
Hold Israel Symposium
In New York, three spiritual
leaders participated in a "Re-
ligion in Israel" symposium,
held under the auspices of the
American Zionist Council. The
speakers represented the Re-
form, Conservative and Ortho-
dox branches of Judaism.
Dr. Julius Mark, senior rabbi
of Temple Emanu-El, expressed
the belief that Israel is ripe for
Liberal Judaism, since a large
number of Israelis are "indif-
ferent or hostile to the Jewish
religion, which to them means
the Ofthodoxy • they have re-
jected."
Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, speak-
ing for the Conservative group,
stated that the struggle for re-
ligious revitalization In Israel
depends on a shift in emphasis
from - politics to education. "Re-
ligion," he emphasized, "must
be fought for in t h e human
heart, it cannot be legislated."
Rabbi Emanuel .Raclunan as-
serted that Orthodox Jews in
America are concerned because
of the lack of religion in many
Israelis. "If anti - religious forces
prevail in Israel, they will do
more to alienate the Jews of the
world than a thousand Ameri-
can Councils for Judaism," he
said..

Chiropody Fraternity
T.S. Support for Israel in UN Seen
As Possible in Release of Bat Galim
UNITED NATIONS, N.
(JTA)—The American delega-
tion to the United Nations indi-
cated its support of a request
presented by Israel to the Se-
curity Council asking for action
toward the release by Egypt of
the Israel freighter "Bat Galim"
which was seized last September
while trying to pass through the
Suez Canal.
The request was contained in
a letter addressed by Ambassa-
dor Abba Eban, head of the Is-
rael delegation, to the president
of the Security Council. Eban
asked the president, Dr. Victor
A. Belaunde, to inquire of the
Egyptian government "whether
it is prepared to agree with Is-
rael on an arrangement for the
realease of the Bat Galim and
its cargo through the Suez
Canal in conformity with the
Security Council resolution of
September 1, 1951."
That resolution establishes the
principle of freedom of passage
for all shipping through the
Suez Canal.
Asked for the American posi-
tion regarding Eban's letter, a
spokesman for the United States
delegation declared: "The
United States, of course, con-
tinues to believe that the 1951
resolution should be complied
with, and we believe Egypt
should release the 'Bat Galim'
through. the Suez Canal. We,
therefore, think that Ambassa-
dor Eban's new letter is entire-
ly appropriate under the cir-
cumstances."
In his letter, Eban declared
that Israel "will be ready to
discuss with the Egyptian gov-
ernment the practical steps" for
effecting the Bat Galim's fur-
ther passage through the Suez
Canal to Haifa:
Britain Cool to Israel's Request
For U.N. Action on "Bat Galim*
In London, Israel's move for
the release of the "Bat Galim"
was given a lukewarm recep-
tion in official circles.
It was indicated from official
sources that while Britain in no
way denies the right of Israel to
seek the release of its vessel
through the Suez Canal, she
feels, at the same time, that
any further move by Israel at
the Council which might require
the Western Powers to line up
with Israel would embarrass
their position at the present
time when British Foreign Sec-
retary Sir Anthony Eden is
about to visit Egypt.
