JERUSALEM (JTAN) —
Prime Minister Menahem
Begin declared Wednesday
he was ready to meet with
President Reagan or attend
a tripartite summit with
Reagan and Sadat despite
the Israeli election cam-
paign.
In what some observers
saw as a deliberate signal to
Reagan, Begin said "to me
the elections won't be any
obstacle."
Both the premier and
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir, in separate ap-
pearances before a visiting
group of Egyptian par-
liamentarians, stressed Is-
rael's readiness to resume
autonomy negotiations at
any moment. The talks
have been long dormant,
continuing only at the level
of "experts" with the
ministerial sessions in
abeyance.
Begin told the Egyptians
he "did not want to go into

Both Israeli leaders said
the upcoming elections need
not in any way interfere
with progress in the talks.
Israeli officials were
plainly pleased at the
warm, though frank, at-
mosphere that prevailed at
the Egyptians' sessions
with Begin and Shamir.
There was a free-flowing
give-and-take, with the
guests adopting what Is-
raeli officials felt was a
moderate tone in their criti-
cism of Israel's positions on
the autonomy.

The reorganization plan
would divide the tasks of
chief rabbis on a functional
rathen than a geographical
basis.
It calls for a three-
member Chief Rabbinate
of which one member
would have repre-
sentational, coordinating
and organization respon-
sibilities, another would
be a specialist in halakha
and the third a specialist
in education. The latter
would also hold the post
of principal of the
Ashkenazic Rabbinical
Seminary in Amsterdam.
The three rabbis would
comprise the Rabbinical
Council to be headed by one
of them as chairman. He
would be, in principle, the
Chief Rabbi of The Nether-
lands.

when the Germans invaded
in 1940 and has, in fact,
changed little structurally
for more than 150 years.
But the 120 congrega-
tions that existed in Hol-
land before World War II
now number only 43 and
most of them are too small
to be self-sufficient with re-
spect to synagogue services,
Jewish education and other
services.
The reorganization
plan, titled "Prospects
for the 1980s," would re-
duce the 43 congrega-
tions which are-presently
on a local basis to 15
which would function on
a regional basis. Excep-
tions would be the con-
gregations in Amster-
dam, Rotterdam and The
Hague. Each regional
congregation would have
a minimum of 200 mem-
bers.
The plan would also rede-
fine the tasks of rabbis. Be-
fore the war, there were 11_
