Supreme Rabbinic Court
Approves Conversion

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Su-
preme Rabbinical Court gave its
official stamp of approval to the
conversion of American-born Mrs.
Helen Zeidmann, who underwent
Orthodox conversion rites.
It did so by rejecting an appeal
against the conversion filed by
Shalom Cohen, a New Left Knesset
member who held that the conver-
sion performed by Army Chief
Chaplain Shlomo Goren and two
other military chaplains constituted
military interference in civilian
affairs.
The rabbinical court claimed
that Cohen had no standing as an
interested party and therefore could
not file an appeal.
There was no word on how the
rabbinical court planned to deal
with an appeal filed at the same
time as Cohen's by a group of
rabbis associated with Agudath
Israel who charged that Mrs. Zeid-
mann had received insufficient in-
struction fur admission to Juda-
ism.
The conversion had been carried
out swiftly after Mrs. Zeidmann
agreed under severe pressure from
government leaders to undergo
rites fo a second time.
She was originally converted by
a Reform rabbi in Tel Aviv but
the Ministry of Interior refused to
register her as a Jew because in
the eyes of the Israeli rabbinate,
Reform Judaism has no status
here.
