Rabbi Yosef sat in judgment with the rabbinical supreme court his .week for the first time -ince his election. Rabbi Goren's efforts to find a halakhic solution to the case ran into a snag this week when the Langers' mother's first husband ap- plied to a rabbinical court in Petah Tikva to confirm his status as a Jew. The taint of bastardy was applied to the Langer children be- cause, according to the rabbis., their mother was not properly divorced from her first husband, Abraham for. okovsky, and hence the chil- dren of her second marriage were conceived in adultery. Borokovsky married the present Mrs. Langer in Po- hnd after World War II. Goren's case rests on the argument that Borokovsky was not properly converted to Judaism and therefore his marriage to the Langers' mother was never valid. Borokovsky applied to the same rabbinical court that originally declared the Lan- ger children bastards and banned their marriage. He claims that since his conversion in Poland he has been thought of as a Jew and acted like one. He said press reports that Rabbi Goren sought to cancel the validity of his ... conversion have caused him great personal distress.
