JERUSALEM—All banks in
Israel were closed and most gov-
ernment offices were manned
only by skeleton staffs as the
country observed Tisha B'Av
Tuesday fasting and praying in
commemoration of the destruc-
tion • of the two temples.
Opening the observance at
sunset Monday, all theaters,
moviegoers and cafes were shut
down Monday night. At mid-
night, some 7,000 Israelis and
tourists massed atop Mount
Zion, where prayers were re-
cited and the traditional la-
mentations chanted. Earlier,
the usual decorations orna-
menting the Tomb of King
David on the mountain were
removed, being replaced tem-
porarily by broken rocks.
Among the pilgrims to this
shrine was Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol.
President Z a 1 in a n Shazar
went by automobile to the vil-
lage of Mar Habad, near Tel
Aviv, where he worshipped
with the Habad Hassidim, a
sect of which he has been an
adherent all his life. Like all
the worshippers there, he sat
on a low bench, shoeless, wear-
ing a black yarmelke. His white
khaki-clad guards sat beside
him, similarly in mourning.
In observance of this day of
mourning, when Jews recall

JERUSALEM—Divorce cases

jointly by the British Chief
Rabbinate, the Union of Ortho-
dox Rabbis of the United States
and Canada and the Jewish
Agency.
The marriage and divorce
practices of the Indian Bene
Israel community had resulted
in difficulties in some cases of
members of the Bene Israel
living in Israel seeking to marry
Israelis of different origin.
Rabbi Gotthold told a press
1.‘-onference here Tuesday that
recent incitement here among
members of the Bene Israel com-
munity regarding directives of
the Chief Rabbinate on Bene
Israel marriages were based an
misinformation.
During his visit to India,
Rabbi Gotthold said that he set
up a provisional Beth Din to
deal with some 30 divorce cases
still pending.

Position of Russian
Jews Discussed
with Soviet Clergy

MONTREAL, JTA)—The po-
sition of Jews in the Soviet
Union, in the light of the ex-
periences of other faiths there,
was discussed here by leaders
of the Canadian Jewish Congress
with a group of delegates of
the Orthodox Church of Soviet
Russia, who came to Montreal
to participate in the fourth
World Conference of Faith
and Order, being held here
under the aegis of the World
Council of Churches.
The CJC leaders expressed
concern over the fact that the
Jews in the Soviet Union have
no opportunity of developing
a collective life as a religious
group, and seem to suffer from
a specific policy different from
that applied to other denomin-
ations, which leads to an en-
forced disintegration of the
Jewish community. They also
expressed concern that syna-
gogues are being closed and
that facilities are denied to
Soviet Jews to establish na-
tional organizations for com-
mon religious purposes along
the lines available to other
religious faiths, and that they
cannot maintain contact with
Jewish communities outside
Russia and participate in world
Jewish gatherings.
Also discussed was the in-
ability of Jews to obtain
matzohs for Passover, and the
practicability of each family
baking matzohs on its own,
which apparently is permissible
in Russia. The availability of
religious articles and prayer
books and the training of re-
ligious personnel were also a
matter of discussion with the
Soviet clergymen.
The position of Jews was
analyzed by the Soviet visitors
in light of the basic approach
of Moscow's policy toward
religion generally. They claimed
that no religious denomination
is treated either with special
favor or being discriminated
against, and that Jews have the
same opportunities as followers
of other faiths to practice
religion.
Michael Garber, president of
Canadian Jewish Congress, and
Lavy M. Becker, chairman of
the national foreign affairs
committee of the Congress, led
the Jewish group.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — About
2,200 young Baptists from 70
countries toured Israel, com-
prising the largest group of
Christian pilgrims ever to visit
Israel. The visitors, ranging in
age from 17 to 25, are making
a Holy Land pilgrimage or-
ganized in connection with the
Baptist Youth World Confer-
ence, being held in/ Beirut,
Lebanon.
Three sunrise services were
conducted for the pilgrims on
the shores of Lake Tiberias.
The services consisted of the

asked the world to "Help re-

permit access to the Wailing
Wall and other Jewish religious
places in accordance with the
provisions of the Israeli-Jor-
