Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut of the Holy Blossom Temple described the development in a report in which he identified himself with the "Halakha-oriented" Reform rabbis in the Central Conference of,American Rabbis. Writing in the current issue of the CCAR Journal, Rabbi Plaut asserted that, on the main ques- tions of Halakha and personal status situations — marriage, di- vorce and conversion--"we Re- form rabbis have sinned with abandon." He asserted that in these areas, Reform rabbis could, by applying halakhic norms.

The latter are trying to gain municipal control for themselves in order to maintain the religious character of the quarter and to perpetuate religious control in the area. The housing ministry prefers to appoint a nonpolitical group of experts to administer the area until its political future is decided. According to some reports, be- hind-the-scenes bargaining between the parties led to a compromise that calls for a municipal council to be appointed by the ministry of interior, which is in the hands of the Orthodox National Religious Party. Dr. Burg told the Knesset com- mittee that until a solution is found, Kiryat Arba should be run jointly by an interministerial com- mittee and representatives of the settlers. , Shazar Lauds Israelis for Contributions to UIA Jewish Hebron Suburb Bone of Contention Once a Year es Einstein Lodge Names Honoree CHOCOLATES . and GIFTS 24790 - COOLIDGE le The Doxitop:Dovisos Skoppiog Phu.
