CHICAGO (JTA)—The Chicago
Board of Rabbis revived Monday
the controversy over cantors offi-
ciating at weddings with a state-
ment that "the proper officiant
at all Jewish wedding ceremonies
should be only a duly ordained
rabbi."
The board said it had issued
the statement because of "recent
discussions in the community con-
cerning the officiants at the wed-
ding ritual." The statement held
that a couple "embarking upon
the sacred responsibilities of map.
riage," should have the "spiritual
guidance, counsel and inspiration
of a rabbi."
The cantor could properly par-
ticipate in the ceremony by chant-
ing appropriate portions of the
service only with the rabbi, the
statement said.

French Chief Rabbi Hails
Pope's Stand on Religion
in Page-One Daily Article
PARIS (JTA)—Chief Rabbi Ja-
cob Kaplan of France called for
the support of the principle of
freedom of conscience in religious
matters adopted by the Ecumenical
Council and promulgated by Pope
Paul VI. He said the promulgation
of this principle by the Pope was
"a great event," constituting the
return of the church to its orig-
inal mainsprings."
The chief rabbi's call appeared
as a front-page article in the lead-
ing French newspaper "Figaro,"
replacing the usual editorial of the
newspaper and indicating that the
newspaper endorses its contents.
Rabbi Kaplan also said in his ar-
ticle that the Jews, "who know well
about religious persecution, having
experienced it, through the genera-
tions, appreciate very much the
declaration of the Vatican in the
field of religious freedom." He as-
serted that the Vatican stand indi-
cated "a willingness of the church
to break the vicious circle of in-
tolerance of the past."
In urging Catholics to abide by
the new dogma, the chief rabbi
recalled that, during the period of
the Temple in Jerusalem, the Jews
had a custom of offering special
sacrifices for "the 70 peoples of the
world who were not believers in
the God of Israel."
