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.

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. • Certified Teachers • Developmental Curriculum • Complete Bar/Bat Mitzvah Instruction • Camping Experiences • Accelerated Classes (in some branches - 4 days a week) • Open Classrooms (in some branches) • Special Education (L.D., Retarded, Hard of Hearing) I.

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. AL KLINE • DALGLEISH CADILLAC 61 60 CASS AVE. TR 5-0300 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.
