Israel Conservative
Movement Gets Aid
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Mrs.
Henry N. Rapaport, national
president of the Women's
League for Conservative Ju-
daism (formerly the National
Women's League of the
United Synagogue of Amer-
ica), told Conservative Jews
here that her organization
would "give full support in
t h e establishment a n d
strengthening of the Con-
servative movement in Is-
rael."
Her pledge came during
an unprecedented event in
which she delivered the ser-
mon at a Sabbath srvice in
a Jerusalem synagogue.
Mrs. Rapaport coupled her
statement with a plea that
all observant Jews of what-
ever persuasion "join hands
in support of our religious
values, and to strengthen
each other's hands in an in-
creasingly secular society."
She urged a 20th Century
approach to prayer without
transplanting American re-
ligious practices to Israel.
Mrs. Rapaport was leading
a group of American syna-
gogue women leaders from
throughout the United States.
