Likud, NRP, Aguda Will 'Coordinate
Stands' but Reject Opposition Bloc
-
TEL AVIV (JTA)—An at-
tempt to form an opposition
bloc including Likud, the Na-
tional Religious Party and the
Aguda group has failed. But
the three groups have agreed
to meet frequently to coor-
dinate their stand on politi-
cal issues and in the Knesset
and Knesset committees.
Meanwhile, Premier Yitz-
hak Rabin met separately
Tuesday with the leaders of
the three groups in an at-
tempt to prevent a no-confi-
dence vote over Israel's atti-
tude toward t h e United
States-Egyptian agreement on
nuclear cooperation. Likud,
NRP and Aguda have agreed
to introduce similar no-confi-
dence votes on this issue in
the Knesset.
Each of the three groups
had a different reason for
not forming a bloc. The NRP
refused to give a signed dec-
laration that it will not join
any government unless the
Who Is a Jew question is re-
solved to meet the demands
of the Orthodox establish-
ment.
Likud refused to attempt
to prevent Knesset accept-
ance of a change in the elec-
toral system. Aguda opposed
the formation of a bloc but
said it would act in coordina-
tion with the others on the
merit of each issue.

The differences between
the opposition and Rabin's
coalition government have
sharpened, including contro-
versies over -procedural mat-
ters in the Knesset. The
Knesset finance committee
was unable to approve the
budget for several ministries
when the Aguda representa-
tive, who had formally ab-
stained, joined the opposition
to deadlock the vote at 11-11.
this affront, nor remain
quiescent should the Israeli
government embrace a policy
that casts aspersions on the
legitimacy of non-Orthodox

that an enlightened political

could reach an agreement

sions of the bill.

In the U.S., persistent
rumors that the Rabin gov-
ernment in Israel was nego-
tiating a new compromise
with the Orthodox political
parties on the Law of Return
has prompted the congrega-
tional body of Reform Juda-
ism to issue a new word of
caution against such action.
In a communication to
Rabin, leaders of the Union
of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, while praising the
Israeli prime minister for his
formation of a government
for the first time, in 26 years
without the National Religi-
ous Part y, nevertheless
issued the following warning:
"As in previous months,
the vast majority of world
Jewry will neither tolerate
Lutheran-Jewish
Cooperation Aim
of New Program
NEW YORK — A nation=
wide program to strengthen
relationships between Luther-
ans and Jews in the United
States and abroad was an-
nounced by two religious
leaders who have been study-
ing the problems of such re-
lations for the past four
years.
Dr. Paul D. Opsahl, execu-
tive secretary of the division
of theological studies of the
Lutheran Council in the -
U.S.A., and Rabbi Marc H.
Tanenbaum, national direr=
for of interreligious affairs
of the American Jewish Com-
mittee, announced the project
at a luncheon at AJC national
headquarters.
The luncheon marked the
publication of a new book,
edited by Dr. - Opsahl and
Rabbi. Tanenbaum, "Speak-
ing of God Today: Jews and
Lutherans in Conversation,"
and published by Fortress
Press, Philadelphia, the pub-
lishing arm of the Lutheran
Church in America.
The book, together with a
study guide now in prepara-
tion, was intended to serve
as the basis for future Jew-
ish-Lutheran discussions at
the congregational and parish
Levels.

"Rabbi Tanenbaum ex-
pressed appreciation of the
fact that "the church whose
leadership was a major
force for instilling theologi-
cal anti-Semitism in the
modern world has taken the
initiative in seeking to up-
root the sources of anti-
Semitism today." •
