Jews of Ethiopia Eligible
for Israeli Citizenship
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
An inter-ministerial com-
mittee of experts has recog-
_ nized the Falashas — the
Black Jews of Ethiopia — as
eligible for Israeli citizen-
ship and other rights under
the "Law of Return."
The decision was criti-'
cized by Ashkenazi Chief
Rabbi Shlomo Goren who
maintained the Jewishness
of the Falashas ought to be
a strictly halakhic issue
decided by halakhic experts
only. The committee was
reportedly guided on ha-
lakha by Sephardic Chief
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who ,
has for many years main-
tained that the Falashas are
Jews under halakha.
