NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr.
Harold Jacobs, president of
the National Council of
Young Israel, condemned
what he termed the threats
by American Reform and
Conservative leaders to
withhold support for Israel
if the new government led
by Premier Menahem Begin
accedes to the requests of its
religious parties coalition
members to strengthen the
integrity of the Israeli reli-
gious establishment."
Jacobs termed the threats
"a naked attempt at eco-
nomic and political
blackmail to reverse the
democratic decision of the
Israeli electorate expressed
in the ballot box" Jun 30.
Jacobs refuted the charge
by Dr. Gerson Cohen, chan-
cellor of the Jewish
Theological Seminary of
America, that the religious
parties' request would be a
"religious affront" to the
majority of Jews by citing a
recent American Jewish
Committee study which
found, "A growing acknowl-
edgement among virturally
all sectors of the Jewish
population (of Israel) that
the state cannot survive if it
is not a Jewish state, and
that the Jewish character of
the state is preserved most
fully by those recognized at
the authentic guardians of
Judaism. the Orthodox."
Jacobs responded to
the charge by Rabbi Ale-
xander Schindler,
president of the Union of
American Hebrew Con-
gregations, that the reli-
gious parties' requests
would "rupture the unity
of the Jewishepople" by
pointing to the attempts
of the Reform and Con-
servative groups to
"undermine the tradi-
tionally united American
Jewish support of Israel
to extort by political
pressure the recognition
they have failed to win
from the people of Is-
rael."
Furthermore, Jacobs
said, "by rejecting the
standards of Jewish law and
tradition, it is the Reform
and Conservative groups
which have divided the
Jewish people and caused
needless human suffering
through invalid conversion,
marriage and divorce pro-
cedures which have thrown

JERUSALEM (JNI) —
some 22 Christian theolo-
gians from English-
speaking African countries
will, for the sixth consecu-
tive year, attend a two-
month summer course in Is-
rael sponsored by the Israel
Interfaith Committee, the
Hebrew University and the
African Center in
Jerusalem
The seminar, on biblical
tradition and community
development, is intended to
strengthen each partici-
pant's knowledge and ex-
perience of Judaism and Is-
rael.

— stating that a primary
and essential condition to
their participation in a coal-
ition government headed by
Begin must be a firm com-
mitment by Begin to amend
the Law of Return im-
mediately without further
delay.
He also urged the reli-
gious parties to include in
their demands a law pro-

a shadow over the Jewish
identity and marital status
of thousands of innocent
men and women. It is to
avoid further damage and
human suffering of this
kind that we must reject Re-
form and Conservative de-
mands for official religious
recognition in Israel."
Meanwhile, Rabbi Moshe
Feinstein, president of the
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of
the United States and
Canada, sent a cable to the
religious parties in Israel —
