Israel Supreme Court Discusses Relation
of Israeli Nationality Jewish, Religion
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Nine jus-
tices of Israel's 10-member Su-
preme Court took the bench Oct.
16 to deliberate on what may lead
to a landmark decision on the
question of whether Israeli nation-
ality is inseparable from the Jew-
ish religion.
The fact that nine members are
participating is a precedent and
reflects the great importance that
the judiciary attaches to the case.
Ordinarily only three judges and
occasionally five hear individual
cases. The 10th justice was absent
in order to avoid a tie in case of a
split decision.
The case was originally
brought to the Supreme Court by
Major Benjamin Shalit, a regu-
lar army officer who is married
to a non-Jewess of English and
Soviet Policy, Poles' Anti-Semitism
Disrupt French Jewish Communists
PARIS (JTA)—The French Jew-
ish Communist Party, long one of
the most obedient to the Moscow
Party line, is undergoing a serious
crisis as a result of the Soviet at-
titude toward Israel and the anti-
Semitic trend of the Polish Com-
munist Party.
A number of local Jewish party
members are in revolt against the
party leadership and have de-
manded that their voices be heard
in criticism of the Moscow and

Warsaw attitude s. The Jewish
Communist newspaper "Naie
Presse" has openly criticized the
Soviet stand on the Middle East.
Commenting on the text of the
Soviet Communist Party's recent
declaration on the Middle East,
the paper said in an editorial, "It
this is the real expression of Soviet
sentiment, we, on our part, want
to express our astonishment and
dissatisfaction over the stand of
the Soviets for their lack of con-
sideration and for their dangerous
provocation of Arab extremists."
Several Jewish Communists have
written to the general press to reg-
ister dissatisfaction with the par-
ty's central committee and to urge
a basic reorganization of the
French Jewish Communist Party.

French descent. The major had
applied to the ministry of interior
to register the couple's two chil-
dren, aged four and two, as Jews
by nationality in the population
registry.
The ministry refused on the
ground that the mother is not
Jewish and therefore the children
are not Jewish according to Jewish
religious law. The ministry further
claimed that Jewish nationality
cannot be separated from the
Jewish religion. Minister of Inte-
rior Moshe Shapiro is a member of
the Orthodox National Religious
Party.
Maj. Shalit noted in his appeal
that his wife's family on both sides
have been declared atheists for
five generations and that her Brit-
ish papers carried the description
"no religion." He argued further
that a person having a Jewish
father and a mother who does not
profess any other creed and who
is brought up as a Jew is Jewish
by ethnological definition.
His case was originally heard by
a three-jage panel, which decided
to refer it to a bench of five and
the latter ruled that a case of such
far-reaching implications in mat-
ters of principle should be heard
by the full court.
