VIC DOUCETTE W iLon- Crimman Chief Rabbi Denies Arranging Meeting of Conservative Rabbis, Soviet Aide NEW YORK (JTA)—Chief Rabbi Yehuda Leib Levin of Moscow has categorically denied a report that he arranged a meeting on July 26 in Moscow between a delegation of visiting American Conservative rabbis and an official of the So- viet Council for Religious Affairs, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Con- gregations of America said. Rabbi Wolfe Kelman, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Assembly of America, who headed the delegation which met with Michail Kadikoff, the Soviet offi- cial, said here Aug. 13 that the meeting had been arranged by Rabbi Levin and that the official had indicated that the Soviet gov- ernment would have no objections to invitations to Russian syna- gogues to affiliate with the World Council of Synagogues, which is under Conservative sponsorship. Rabbi Joseph Karasick, UOJCA president; said he had been inform- ed of Rabbi Levin's disavowal by Rabbi Pinchas Teitz of Elizabeth, N. J. Rabbi Teitz was a companion of Chief Rabbi Levin during the latter's tour this summer of the United States. Rabbi Karasick added that Rabbi Levin, in an overseas telephone conversation with Rabbi Teitz, asked Rabbi Teitz to convey his denial to the UOJCA president "with permis- sion to make it known to the pub- lic." According to Rabbi Karasick, Rabbi Levin also said that his sole contact with the Conserva- tive rabbis was to receive them as a formal courtesy during their Moscow visit, "as is his practice with overseas Jewish visitors in general," and that "he had had no discussion with them Having planted a grove of 1,000 trees in Israel, Shaarit Haplay- on any proposal to seek to get tah was presented with a certificate from the Jewish National Fund Russian synagogues to affiliate in Israel.
