A bequest to the Jewish National Fund should be as traditional as having a Blue Box in one's home. You may want your bequest to be dedicated to afforestation, to a pillage, a Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of permanent tribute in the names of persons dear to you.

The sponsoring organiza- tion, the Group for the Rab- binic Ordination of Women (GROW), called the meeting to demonstrate "the dis- satisfaction" with the deci- sion of the JTS Faculty Se- nate "to table the issue of women's rabbinic ordina- tion," Simha Rosenberg, a spokesperson for GROW, declared. She said another objective was "to voice strong support for the im- mediate acceptance of women" by the JTS as can- didates for ordination. Ms. Rosenberg told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that GROW had been started in February 1979 but had been revamped re- cently to be more active in advocating women's ordina- tion and in educating Con- servative Jews in Jewish law and practice. She said GROW had switched to the more vigorous policy after the JTS faculty postponed last Dec. 20 by a 25-19 vote, any action on ordination of women. Rabbi Seymour Siegel, professor of theology and ethics, and chairman of the committee on law and standards of the Rabbin- ical Assembly (RA) the association of Conserva- tive Rabbis, told the gathering that the "ordi- nation of women is man- dated and desirable ac- cording to Jewish law, ethics and needs."

More importantly, we urge them" to vote to "grant women the right to serve as rabbis with all deliberate speed." A resolution to admit women was approved by delegates to the 1979 con- vention of the RA. The dele- gates withdrew the resolu- tion on a pledge by Dr. Ger- son Cohen, JTS chancellor, to name a commission of 14 members, representing the entire range of Conserva- tive opinion, with himself as chairman, to study the issue and make recom- mendations. Francine Klagsbrun, a member of the commission, told the protest meeting Wednesday that the move- ment to ordain women as rabbis was not a "fad. It is a major social revolution. We cannot afford to sit it out." Ms. Rosenberg said that the initial supporters of GROW expect to at- tract broad-based sup- port nationally from the Conservative move- ment's rabbinate and laity. She said GROW is establishing a speakers bureau and a basic re- source library to be available to all individu- als and organizations in- terested in the goals of GROW. She said that GROW is planning a forum in April and is organizing a group to represent GROW at the 80th RA convention which will be held in Kiamesha Entebbe Rescue Possibility for Iran Hostages TEL AVIV (JTA) — Gen. Dan Shomron, who com- manded the spectacular Entebbe rescue mission in July 1976, implied that the American hostages, still captive at the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, might have been rescued by a similar operation. Shomron, who spoke to reporters in Cairo where he is visiting as a member of an Israeli military delegation, said in reply to questions that there is virtually no hostage situation for which a solution cannot be found. He said this was true for the Teheran hostages, but there were political consid- erations which ruled out a military operation in their case. The delegation is in Egypt to foster friendship between the military estab- lishments of the two coun- tries. Noble examples stir us up to noble actions, and the very history of large and public souls inspires a man with generous thoughts. NO HIDDEN CHARGES! 0141)O C61? Lake, N.Y. in May.
