dress by Dr. Zorach Warhaftig,
Israel's minister for religious af-

strengthened in recent years de-
spite the struggle between Israeli
Jews who observe Jewish religious
tradition and those of a secular,
nationalistic orientation.
The dinner was also the occa-

services to traditional Jewish edu-
cation. One of these was Rabbi
