The amounts specified in the ketubba deed are those of the "main" ketub- ba and its increment and those of the dowry and its increment, which amounts the wife is entitled to re,_ ceive upon divorce or the death of her husband.

Mrs. Tabick objects to "becoming a symbol of In- ternational Women's Year." She started rabbinical stud- ies after studying history at University College, London, and specializing in educa- tion at Manchester Univer- sity. The new woman rabbi, unlike the six other rabbis who were ordained with her at St. Johns Wood Liberal Synagogue, has not been given a congregation of her own. Mrs. Tabick has become education officer at the West London Reform Syn- agogue and will decide on a future career next year when her husband, Larry, finishes his rabbinical studies. She disagrees with charges that Reform syn- agogues' use of English in services indicates they are more assimilated. "I think our people can cope better, because they can better un- derstand the service.

WOODWARD • BIRMINGHAM. MICHIGAN • 48012 Southfield to identify with the Jewish tradition," she said. The first Anglo-Jewish woman rabbi was initially. drawn to studies by a desire to know more about Juda- ism. She believes that the role of rabbi differs in keep- ing with the composition of his or her congregation. "It is someone to whom people can turn if in trouble. It is someone who can help others by a greater knowl- edge of Jewish law," she said. Mrs. Tabick does not see the rabbi as "the guide to the perplexed," but only as one of them. In her view, the British community looks too much to their rabbis as perform- ing a priestly role, more within the church concept than within Jewish tradi- tion. She is against intellectual inflexibility in religious matters. She says: "There is no absolute answer to find- ir.-r, ways to God. We must beware being set in our ways. While Mrs. Tabick is the first woman rabbi, the Leo Baeck College will ordain a second woman next year. Judaica, is the amount determined by law as the minimum that the wife is entitled to receive from her husband or his estate on the dissolution of the mar- riage. If the husband so wishes, he may add to the minimum amount of the ketuhha, an increment. The general cus- tom at the present time is to grand the increment and this is also reflected in the standard form of the ke- tuhha deed. In addition, there is also fixed in the ketubba deed the amount which the bus- hand, of his own free will and by virtue of his under- taking under the ketubba deed, renders himself liable to return to his wife, when he pays her the ketubba as the equivalent of her dowry. The husband's liability- to return this amount becomes a monetary debt. In cases where the wife "forfeits" her ketubba the effect, in general, is that the husband is released from his liability to pay her those portions of the ketuhha Tennis Center Near Tel Aviv SAN DIEGO — A novel recreation project for Israel was recently begun by a group of American Jewish tennis aficionados with the groundbreaking for a $1.5 million Israel Tennis Center in Ramat Hasharon, five miles north of Tel Aviv.

Reform Judaism has dropped the use of the traditional ketubba. In- stead, most Reform rabbis issue a marriage certifi- cate drawn up by the Cen- tral Conference of Ameri- can Rabbis (Reform). The certificate makes no refer- ence to the halakic formu- lations of the traditional ketubba. .The wife's rights under the ketuhha are unaffected by the laws of the state of Israel. However, according to the Succession Law 5725/ 1965, whatever she receives on the strength of her ke- tuhha must he taken into ac- count against her rights of inheritance or of mainte- nance from the estate of her deceased husband, the En- cyclopaedia Judaica con- eludes. 1 .
