joined the Hagana, served as
a supernumary policeman in
the defense of Jerusalem in
1948 and earned the reputa-
tion of an excellent marks-

posts in the Hekhal Shlomo,
the chief rabbinate center in
Jerusalem, as messages
poured in from all over the
world congratulating them on
their election victories Sun-
day.
The new Sephardic chief
rabbi, Ovadiah Yosef, already
installed himself and his staff '
in the Hekhal Shlomo and
began working Monday morn-
ing. The staff of Rabbi Shlo-
mo Goren, newly elected Ash-
kenazic chief rabbi, preced-
ed him to Hekhal Shlomo in
the office previously occu-
pied by former Chief Rabbi
Isser Yehuda Unterman.
Goren's "coronation" will
take place in Jerusalem Nov.
21. Rabbi Yosef will be of-
fclially crowned in the Old

City during the Hanuka week
in December. Both rabbis
will continue to serve as the
Ashkenazic and Sephardic
chief rabbis of Tel Aviv, re-
spectively, until successors
are elected, probably not for
a year.
Both Rabbi Goren and Rab-
bi Yosef are regarded as lib-
eral in their interpretation of
Halakha, and for that rea-
son their candidacy, at least
that of Rabbi Goren, was
strongly supported by the
government.
Rabbi Yosef, who an-
nounced his candidacy only
10 days before the elections
and whose upset vi ctory
came as a surprise, is con-
sidered more "enlightened"
than his predecessor, the 76-
year-old Rabbi Yitzhak Nis-
sim.
Israelis generally place
high hopes in the ability of
the two new chief rabbis to
find fair solutions to prob-
lems that have bitterly di-
vided the religious and non-
religious segments of the pop-
ulation.
