Chief Rabbinate
to Fight Military
Duty for Religious
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A new
split in Orthodox ranks seemed to
he developing here after a decision
by the chief rabbinate to oppose
a move to end the exemption of
yeshiva students from military
The question was raised in the
Knesset two weeks ago by the In-
dependent Liberal faction and was ,
debated by the coalition cabinet,
including National Religious Party
members.
The religious kibutz movement
demanded an end to the exemption
partly because many of its student
members have served in the armed
forces. Several religious youths
who chose to interupt their studies
and volunteered for service were i
killed in action during the Six-Day
War. ,
Non - religious parties have argued
that is was unfair for thousands of
-Dung men to be exempt from mili-
tary service while thousands of
others serve for periods of up to
three years.
Some sources here said the chief
rabbinate's decision was more
, ikelv
to unite the religious bloc
behind continued exemption than
to cause a split.
