NEW YORK — The Israel

new medal in tribute to the
Jewish soldiers who fought
for the liberation of Israel
during World War II.
The obverse of the medal
contains a verse from Is-
aiah, "Here am I; send me,"
in Hebrew and English, to-
gether with the Israeli flag.
On the rim, in Hebrew and
English: "1939-1946 the Yis-
huv's volunteers in the Bri-
sh Forces."
On the reverse, in the cen-
ter and in Hebrew, is the
verse from Tractate Berak-
hot (62): "If a man means to
kill you, strike first." The
Hebrew letters Kof Sofit
and Lamed are depicted in
the form of drawn swords
opposed. Along the rim runs
the English translation of
the verse. On the right is a
replica of the yellow badge,
which Jews were required to
wear during the Nazi re-
gime.

Rabbinical Court
Conversion Plan
Proposal Opposed
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
Committee for Jewish Sur-
vival (CJS), an Orthodox ad
hoc committee, has charged
that the Knesset is consider-
ing a proposal to create a
special Rabbinical Court to
consider conversions in Is-
rael whose only purpose is
to make conversions easier.
"In accepting converts,
there is only one unalterable
procedure, conversion ac-
cording to all the require-
ments of the Halakha," Mi-
chael Davidson, a spokes-
man for CJS, declared.
Davidson noted that the
bill was introduced by , a
Labor Alignment Knesset
member and has been sent
to a Knesset committee
with the agreement of the
Minister of Religious Af-
fairs, Yitzhak Rafael. A
Rabbinical Court can only
be set up by rabbis and not
by the Knesset, Davidson
said.
The CJS seeks to have Is-
rael's Law of Return
amended so that only those
converted according to Ha-
lakha can be considered
Jewish.
