One-Day Strike for Israel Buses
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
nationwide bus strike that
kept thousands of workers
from their jobs and students
and teachers from their
• classrooms ended late the
same day when the Dan and
Egged bus cooperatives and
government officials agreed
to resume negotiations.
The strike was called when
talks broke down over the
amount of subsidies to be

paid the bus co-ops in lieu
of a fare hike Dan and
Egged threatened to defy a
"back-to-work" order by a
Tel Aviv labor court.
Later, they heeded a call
by Transport Minister Shi-
mon Peres to end the strike
after Peres authorized pri-
vate car owners to accept
fares for carrying passen-
gers.
Dan provides the only bus
service in Tel Aviv and en-
virons. Egged serves all of
the rest of the country.
The short-lived strike had
a paralyzing effect because
buses are the main form of
public transportation in Is-
rael where there are no
commuter railroads.
Chaotic situations devel-
oped in many areas when
job-holders unaware of the
strike queued up at their bus
stops but no buses came.
Israel's construction indus-
try was hard hit because
Arab workers from the ad-
ministered territories had no
way of getting to their jobs.

Christian Visitors
NEW YORK —Some
34 leaders of American
Christian communities repre-
senting nearly every major
denomination, have been
urged to make travel to Is-
rael an integral part of their
religious education programs.
Moshe Kol, Israeli minister
of tourism, in a meeting this
week at the national head-
quarters of the American
Jewish Committee, invited
Christians to come to Israel
and see for themselves "the
ecumenical circumstances in
which Jews, Christians, and
Moslems are living."
The meeting was arranged
and chaired by Rabbi Marc
H. Tanenbaum, AJC's na-
tional director of interreligi-
ous affairs.
In reply to queries as to
why many pilgrims to Israel
on "Holy Land Tours" have
not seen more of the every-
day life of the people, Rol
explained that the ministry
of tourism has refrained
from interfering in the con-
tent of Christian tours. He
said that this policy would
be re-examined, however, to
see if there were areas
where his office could be of
assistance 'without overstep-
ping what it considered
legitimate limitations regard.
ing Christian itineraries.
Prior to the meeting at the
AJC, Kol had met with rep-
resentatives of Terrence Car-
dinal Cooke of the Catholic
Archdiocese of New York to
discuss the possibility of a
significant increase in the
number of Catholic visitors
to Israel during the Holy
Year, 1975.
According to Msgr. James
Rigney, a recent survey
among New York Catholics
showed that "after R o m e,
Israel was the place they
most wanted to visit."
Miniriain'Equ'atit Fight Raises Orthodox Ire
NEW YORK (JTA)—Two
more Orthodox groups have
entered the controversy rais-
ed when the Conservative
Judaism movement announc-
ed its decision to count wom-
en in the minyan.
The Religious Zionists of
America contended that the
decision "can only exacer-
bate divisions within the Jew-
ish community" and "will
not even increase synagogue
attendance." The National
Council of Aguda Women of
America said the Conserva-
tives weren't doing women
a favor.
A statement by the exeu-
tive committee of the RZA
warned Orthodox Jews "and
all Jews who in one instance
or another may require a
minyan" that the Conserva-
tive ruling "has absolutely
no basis in halakha, as any
halakhic scholar will attest."

5 Women Studying
for Reform Rabbinate
LOS ANGELES (JTA) —
Two women are among stu-
dents studying for the Re-
form rabbinate at the Cali-
fornia school of the Hebrew
Union College, the Reform
seminary, according to Dr.
Lewis M. Barth, dean of the
California school.
The students, Rosalind
Gold of West Los Angeles,
24, and Laura Geller, 23, of
New York City, both started
their training at the Jeru-
salem school of the HUC as
part of the seminary's
"First Year in Israel" pro-
gram for rabbinic students
from all HUC schools. The
others are in Cincinnati and
New York City.
He said that the two
women would be the first to
study for the rabbinate at
the California school al-
though the seminary now
has five women enrolled in
the rabbinic program at its
various schools.
It claimed that "Religious
Zionism, within the halakhic
tradition, has done much to
dignify the status of women,
affording them equal educa-
tional opportunities with men
and equal opportunities in
the political institutions of
the state of Israel."
Mrs. Josephine Reicha 1,
Aguda Women president, said
the Conservatives are "try-
ing to convert us into 'non-
women' " while believing that
they are redeeming Jewish
women "from being a 'non-
persons'." She asserted: "We
Jewish women have always
counted in the Torah scheme
of things."
