Several references were made
to Jewish sanction of "thera-
peutic abortion," one rabbi say-
ing that his approval of such
abortion was contingent on a
group of physicians approving
the operation.
Jewish Military
Chaplains Mark
100th Anniversary
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
100th anniversary of the com-
missioning of the first Jewish
chaplain in the American armed
forces was celebrated here at
the opening session of the bien-
nial, two-day convention of the
Association of Jewish Chaplains
of the Armed Forces.
The convention opened at the
memorial chapel of the United
States Merchant Marine Acade-
iny, in suburban Great Neck.
The Jewish chaplains marked the
centennial of the appointment,
on Sept. 18, 1862, of Rev. Jacob
Frankel, of Philadelphia, follow-
ing President Lincoln's signing
of a bill passed by Congress, au-
thorizing the appointment as an
army chaplain of any "regularly
ordained minister of some re-
ligious denomination."
Until that Act became law,
100 years ago, only regularly or-
dained ministers of "some Chris-
tian denomination" were eligible
to the chaplaincy.
A feature of the opening of
the convention was the presen-
tation of a Torah scroll to the
Marine Academy's memorial
chapel by Captain Joshua L.
Goldberg, retired Navy chaplain.
The Torah was accepted on be-
half of the Academy by Rear
Admiral Gordon McClintock, su-
perintendent of the academy,
and the school's chaplain, Rabbi
Hirsch E. L. Freund.
Chaplain Eugene J. Cohen, of
Arverne, N.Y., was elected presi-
dent of the Association of Jew-
ish Chaplains of the Armed
Forces at the close of the Asso-
ciation's biennial national con-
vention at Fort Hamilton.

The board of directors of
Cong. Beth Shalom has formally

dition to its present building:

study was conducted' among the

tails which the congregation
wished to see in the building.
The building committee,
headed by Albert Rosenblum
and by Oscar Kanat, is plan-
ning to start actual construc-
tion within the next two weeks.
Members of Beth Shalom will
see physical evidence of a_ start

This is openly forbidden in
the Bible (Deuteronomy 22:5).
The commentaries group this
prohibition with many prohibi-
tions that prevent man from
erasing the divisions made by
nature in the universe. Obvious-
ly nature, by Divine Providence,
determined that there shall be
a difference between the male
and the female.
When one sex dresses in the
Clothes of the other, it is re-
garded as a defiance of the laws
of nature and the will of the
Almighty. Some sources point
to the fact that dressing the
sexes in the garb of their oppo-
site was a tactic used in some
early primitive tribes in their
magic rites. The Israelites were
prohibited from copying these
idolatrous practices.

CHICAGO. (JTA) — Rabbis
polled in Chicago were reported
in agreement that Jewish re-
ligions law sanctions abortion
when the mother's life or mental
well-being is at stake.
The poll was taken by the
Chicago Sentinel as an outgrowth
of the controversy which de-
veloped when an Arizona tele-
vision personality. Sherri Fink-
bine, sought a legal abortion
after taking Thalidomide, a drug
which was found to have caused
many births of deformed infants
in Europe. Refused a legal abor-
tion in the United States, she
went to Europe for the opera-
tion.
The Chicago rabbis said that
the embryo is nothing more than
"a limb of the mother," imtil it
is fully developed and that limbs
may be amputated, if necessary,
without violation of Jewish law.
