gentina, and responsible for
tipping off the Israelis as to
the whereabouts of Adolf
Eichmann, died July 6 of a

for Nazi Crimes, confirming
the suspicions of the Israeli

the Jewish section of the
Gestapo. Eichmann w a s

tried and hanged in Israel.
There was a question of a
$10,000 reward for informa-
tion leading to Eichmann's
capture, offered by the Haifa
Documentation Center. When
Hermann claimed the re-
ward, the Israeli government
said that they would not hon-
or it because the offer was
not an official one.
In 1971, the claim was re-
newed via a letter to Pre-
mier Golda Meir, and Her-
mann was finally paid.

Karta Head, Israel's Enemy
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Rabbi Amram Blau, leader
of the fanatical sect, Neturei
Karta, was buried at the Har
Hamenuhot cemetery July 5.
Police estimated that 5,000
mourners followed the bier
on foot through the streets of
Jerusalem, as is the custom
when a famous rabbi dies.
Rabbi Blau, who suc-
cumbed to a kidney ailment
July 4 at age 80, headed the
tightly knit group of religious
zealots who refused to rec-
ognize the state of Israel be-
cause they considered it a
blasphemous creation against
God's word.
So strong was their anti-

musician, founder of the Jew-
ish Reform movement in
South Africa and a brother
of American Jewish musi-

the first Hebrew-speaking
group, "Hug Ivri" in 1913
and helped to establish the
Zionist Revisionist movement
in the 1920s. He took the
lead in organizing the Jewish
Reform movement here dur-
ing a visit in 1929.
When the first Jewish Re-
form congregation was form-
ed in Johannesburg in 1933,-

Weiler as its first rabbi, Mr.
Idelson was appointed its
director of music, a position
he held until his retirement

pathy toward the "Zionist
state" that Rabbi Blau and
his followers once asked the
"protection" of King Hus-
sein of Jordan.
One of the rabbi's last acts
was to petition President Nix-
on, on his visit to Israel,
June 16-17, to make Israel
the 51st state. He called the
Israeli government "godless
and rebellious" and asked
that Jerusalem be annexed
to "any other rule or govern-
ment" that Mr. Nixon could
devise.
The rabbi wore a pin pro-
claiming in three languages
that he was a Jew "but not
a Zionist."
So-called "Zionists" — per-
sons who participated in Is-
raeli elections — were barred
from the funeral, though sev-
eral religious MKs were seen
in the throng.
T h e funeral procession
stopped at every yeshiva
along its route for recitation
of the kadish — except the
Gerrer Yeshiva.
The Gerrer Hasidim are
considered "Zionist," and
therefore sinners, by the
Neturei Karta.
A seventh generation Jer-
usalemite, Rabbi Blau fre-
quently was in jail because
of riots and stone-throwing
protests against religious
transgressions in Jerusalem.
His followers proclaimed
the anniversary of Israel's
independence a day of fast-
ing and mourning. They nev-
er voted and refused to pay
taxes or serve in the armed
forces.
