NEW YORK—A leader of the
Ilene Israel community iri.oIndia
expressed gratitude to theJ World
Council of Synagogues for its role
in helping to attain a status of
equality for his people in the state
of Israel
Emanuel E. Moses, chairman of
the board of the United-Synagogue
of NIndia and a.leading citizen of .
Bombay, told leaders of the World
Council that the firm stand which
the World Council had taken in
the past on the .status Bene
Israel has been a major faCtor
in influencing the Israel 1Cnesset
to adopt a resolution declaring the
Bene Israel as full-fledged ,Jews.'
Moses expressed the hope that
the knesset's actions would lead
to more positive attitudes on
the_part of the Israeli rabbinate
toward Bene Israel
The World Council of Syna-
gogues, at its constitutional con-
vention in 1959, was the first
global Jewish body to embrace the
Bene Israel community as full-
fledged Jews. At its international
convention in Jerusalem in 1962,
the World Council adopted a reso-
lution reaffirming this recognition.
