Bnai Brith International Council Asks
That Tel Aviv Building Be Open to All

NEW YORK (JTA) — Bnai Brith
acted March 9 to resolve the con-
troversy over the use of the Bnai
Brith building in Tel Aviv for non-
Orthodox religious purposes.
The Bnai Brith International
Council, at its executive committee
meetings here, asked that the 11-
member management board of
building maintain "in practice" the
organization's traditional accept-
ance of all religious options in
Judaism.
The action was taken in a reso-
lution that reaffirmed Bnai Brith's
"historic commitment to the prin-
ciples of freedom of religion and
religious equality." The resolution
also noted "with approval" the
Israel Cabinet's unanimous de-
claration last month that "every
person in Israel is entitled to pray
wherever he wishes and in the
manner he wishes."
The issue erupted in late Janu-
ary when the organizers of Tel
Aviv's first Reform congregation
complained publicly that their
request to rent the building's
facilities for regular Sabbath
worship had been turned down.
The congregation had held its
first Sabbath service in the
building.

Dr. William A. Wexler, president
of Bnai Brith, disclosed that "the
building manager, unmindful of a
house rule which precluded its use
for Sabbath worship, had accepted
the Reform congregation's request
for a one-time Friday evening
rental. The house rule," he said
"had been instituted following use
of the building for services by an
Orthodox group. It was then de-
termined that the building, neither
designed nor intended for use as
a synagogue or temple, was not
practical for worship service in
terms of facilities and staff."

GEMILUTH CHASSODIM
MEN'S CLUB will present Dr.
Henry Krystal, assistant professor
of psychiatry at Wayne State
University, 9 p.m. Tuesday at
the congregation. His topic will
be, "Mental Problems of Survivors
of Nazi Persecution." Dr. Jack
Stattman will chair the evening.
A discussion and social period will
follow.

During the International Coun-
cil's discussion, a question was
raised whether the building is at
present open to Reform, Conserva-
tive or Orthodox groups for meet-
ings, lectures and other cultural
programs. "Absolutely," Dr. Wex-
ler replied. "This has been the
operational policy since the build-
ing was opened."

Israel Education Fund
Passes $12,000,000 Mark

The Israel Education Fund of
the United Jewish Appeal has
raised a total of $12,300,000 in its
17-month campaign.
Joseph Meyer-
hoff, chairman,
and Charles J.
Bensley, presi-
dent, told a meet-
ing of the IEF
advisory board
that 26 high
schools, four lib-
raries and a
youth center
were currently
under construc-
tion or in active
planning as a re-
sult of the Fund's
drive. The aver-
age donation,
from 51 individ- Meyerhoff
ual contributors, has been close to
$250,000, according to executive di-
rector Ralph I. Goldman.
Guest speaker Prof. Jehoshua
Prawer, dean of the faculty of
humanities at the 'Hebrew Univ-
ersity, indicated that IEF schools
in progress would play a decisive
role in bridging the cultural gan
between eastern and western ele-
ments in Israel's population, in
rolling back a serious high school
dropout rate and, ultimately, in
providing universal high school
education.
