Israeli Chief Rabbis Differ
Hadassah Palley Occasion
Over Shmita Year Document to Donate Works by Lipchitz
JERUSALEM — Israeli
Chief Rabbis Shlomo Goren
(Ashkenazi) and Ovadia
Yosef (Sephardi) are at it
again — this time at odds
over the document for Jews
to sign in observance of
shmita (sabbatical) year.
Rabbi Yosef charged
Rabbi Goren with sending a
"halachically questionable"
form to all agricultural set-
tlements that would em-
power Rabbi Goren to sell
the fields to a non-Jew dur-
ing the sabbatical year be-
ginning on Rosh Hashana,
the Jerusalem Post re-
ported.
According to Jewish law,
land in Eretz Yisrael must
lie fallow every seven years.
Rabbis in the last century
argued over whether the
Torah's instructions must
be observed to the letter, or
whether a loophole — the
symbolic selling of the land
to a non-Jew during the
year — may allow farmers
to work the soil.

in 'VW, Jatta Chief
Rabbi Abraham Isaac
Kook (who was later to
become the country's
chief rabbi) was a propo-
nent of the lenient ruling
allowing the loophole.
His version of a contract
has been used since then.
Rabbi Yosef received
copies of the form sent by
Rabbi Goren and found that
it "has new elements that
differ from Rabbi Kook's
original version."
The Sephardi chief rabbi
asserted that, through the
years, the lands were sold
directly to a non-Jew and
not to the chief rabbi as an
intermediary.
The Sephardi chief rabbi
sent his own letters to all
farming settlements assert-
ing that he questioned
Rabbi Goren's version. He
enclosed Rabbi Kook's ver-
sion of the document and
asked farmers to sign it and
return it at the earliest
possible time.

CHICAGO (JTA) —
Three color lithographs by
sculptor Jacques Lipchitz,
who has been called one of
the master sculptors of the
20th Century, were pre-
sented to the Art Institute of
Chicago by Bernice Tan-
nenbaum, national
president of Hadassah, and
Lola Kramarsky, noted col-
lector and chairman of the
Hadassah arts committee.
The presentation marked
Hadassah's 65th annual na-
tional convention which
was held this week at the
Palmer House. Some 3,000
delegates and guests
attended.
The lithographs will be
shown until Sept. 6 in con-
junction with other prints
by Lipchitz from the
museum's collection as well
as drawings and prints by
other contemporary artists,
including Henry Moore and
Amadeo Modigliani, who
were his friends.
The lithographs were
made in 1971. While Lip-
chitz worked on his last
monumental sculpture,
"Tree of Life," for Hadas-
sah, he prepared a
portfolio of three lithog-
raphs based on his
studies. The lithographs
were signed and num-
bered by the artist in an
edition of 250.
Lipchitz, who was 80
years old at the time, died
two years later in Capri. He
had revealed to Karl Katz of
the Metropolitan Museum
of Art that he had nurtured
the "Tree of Life" for 30
years and saw this work as
the summation of his labor,
of his philosophy and of "the
dynamics of our religion."
Each lithograph repre-
sents a different view of the
sculpture. One is predomin-
antly mustard, one is earth
brown and royal blue, and
one is predominantly scar-
let with black. On Sept. 21,
1978, the bronze monument
was dedicated in Jerusalem
at the Hadassah University
Hospital, Mount Scopus, on
the site selected by Lipchitz
— overlooking the Hills of
Moab and the Dead Sea.
Among those scheduled t
address the conventioi.
were Israeli Deputy Pre-
mier Yigael Yadin, Mrs.
Tannenbaum, Sen. Birch
Bayh (D-Ind.) and Simon
Wiesenthal, head of the
Jewish Documentation
Center in Vienna, who re-
ceived the Henrietta Szold
Award and Citation.

Nicaragua Ties
With Israel Set
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Yosef Ciechanover, director
general of Israel's Foreign
Ministry, disclosed last
week that the Israeli gov-
ernment and the new gov-
ernment of Nicaragua have
already accredited diploma-
tic representatives to each
other's country. He declined
to name the new Israeli
delegate to Nicaragua.
Speaking with Israeli
correspondents at the con-
clusion of a 10-day visit to
Brazil, Venezuela and
Mexico, during which he
said he found "deep friend-
ship" toward Israel,
Ciechanover said that Is-
rael's relations with
Nicaragua — which became
somewhat unclear after the
downfall of the Somoza re-
gime — was a topic of con-
versation between him and
officials of the three coun-
tries he visited.
"Officials in the three
countries welcomed the re-
cent exchange of letters be-
tween Israel and the
Nicaraguan government"
on diplomatic relations,
Ciechanover said.
