Israel 'Jewish Identity' Law Called 'Danger'
to Unity in Local Rabbis' Plea for Changes

Detroit's Vaad Harabonim—the
Council of Orthodox Rabbis—at a
special meeting held last Friday,
unanimously adopted a resolution
declaring that "the acceptance by
the Israel government of non-Jews
who were not properly converted
is a- potential threat to our sur-
vival as a people."
The declaration is based on the
rabbis' contention, expressed in one
of the whereases in the resolu-
tion that "recent Israeli legisla-
tion identifies (as)- a Jew 'one
born of a Jewish mother or one
who has converted' omitting the
basic principle that conversion
must be in accordance with ha-
lakha."

Role of Individual,
Shaarey Zedek Topic

Jane Hart, wife of- Michigan's
senior senator; and Harold Wil-
lens, an executive of Common
Cause, a national citizens' lobby;
will be the featured speakers at a
program 8 p.m. Tuesday at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek.
The public affairs committee of

Shaarey Zedek, under the chair-
manship of Norman Naimark, is

sponsoring the program: "What
Can One Man Do? Do Individuals
Still Count?" Rabbi Irwin Groner
also will participate.
The role of Common Cause will
be explained. The new organiza-
tion works for the public interest
at all levels of governments. Its
primary goals are a reordering of
national priorities and a revitiliza-
tion of -governmental . institutions.

has been united and identified ac-
cording to italaleha," and that "a
Jew 3s - 6rie who is born of a Jew-
ish mother or has accepted con-

version according to halakha," the
rabbis, in their appeal to the
Israel government, to the Knesset
and to the rosh hamemshala (the
Israeli prime minister,) voiced
"the alarming concern (of the
Vaad Harabonim) of the great
danger and threat to Jewish unity
and identity in this law."
The appeal to the government,
legislators and officials of Israel
expressed in this resolution is to
"correct this danger."
