THE DETROIT JEW ISH NEW S — Friday, July 10, 1959— 8 Minimize Cairo Report on U.S. Promise of Aid Rabbinate Orders Probe on Identity Prior to Marriage JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Chief Rabbinate here issued in- structions ordering that all ap- plicants for marriage be inves- tigated very carefully to see if their identity cards, listing them as "Jewish," were valid and "in keeping with the To- rah." According to a spokesman for the Sephardic Chief Rabbi, Dr. Itzhak Nissim, the rabbi- nate was concerned about the correct identity of a relatively small number of immigrants de- scribed as Jews on their iden- tity cards, but who were actu- ally Christian in religion. These persons allegedly registered as Jews in order to be permitted to emigrate. After their arrival here, they allegedly reverted to Christian- ity—but their identity car d s show them to have declared themselves as Jews. "While the number involved is small," the Chief Rabbi's spokesman de- clared, "the pr e c e dent is fraught with danger." Prior to the statement on be- half of Chief Rabbi Nissim, the Supreme Religious Council of Israel called on the government "to state in clear terms that all questions of registration (of an Israelis religion) will be treat- ed in accordance with Jewish law." The Ministry of the Interior, which has jurisdiction over identity-card registrations, iden- tifies adults in accordance with an applicant's personal declara- tion of his religion, according to Rabbi Nissim. "ThiS creates a unique category," stated the Chief Rabbi, "of citizens who are Gentile by religion and Jew- ish by nationality." Governor Lauds Anniversary of Conn.
