Describing herself as a one-time "mild-mannered yeshiva girl" who has found "happiness among the feminists," Ms. Greenberg poses the question: "What position can we as commit- ted Jews take toward feminism?" . . . Where must we separate ourselves from mainstream Judaism, and what are the pressure points in our tradition that, because we are women, we must locate?" Outlining her own situa- tion, she writes: "Judaism is my life . . . Feminism is a new ethical movement of special appeal to me be- cause I am a woman. It is also of merit to humanity in Challenge to PLO With The Latest In Contemporary Fashions Applegate Square Open Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri. & Sat.10 to 5:30 Thursday 10 to 8 Northwestern & Inkster 354-1242 TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Yehuda Litani, writing in Haaretz, says that the grow- ing trend toward Moslem fundamentalism in the ad- ministered territories is a direct challenge to the Palestine Liberation Organization and any other "nationalist" movements in the Arab world.

Knesset faction and came out strongly against a merger with the Herut movement. Prime Minister Begin was afraid that this "rebel- lion" in the Liberal Party could cause the fall of his government, which has only a majority of one deputy in the Knesset. He phoned Minister Berman and told him that such a merger could only be carried out with the consent of the whole Liberal Party. He de- nied reports that if the Lib- erals would not consent he would abolish the Gahal agreement. Against the merger with Herut are the former chairman of the party, Dr. Elimelech Rimalt; the chairman of the World Jewish Congress -in Is- rael, A.Z. Abramov; the chairman of the Jewish Agency, Arye Dulzin; and mayors of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, Shiomo Lahat and Dr. Israel Peled. Recently the leader of the Liberal Party declared in a press conference that he would accelerate the discus- sion and decision in the party about the merger with klerut. The Liberals would have some demands for this concession in the United Party. All Cabinet members of the Liberals (Ehrlich, Modai, Nissim, Patt and Sharir) besides Berman are in favor of the merger. But there is a strong opposition in the party against it, arguging that this step would mean a quiet liquida- tion of the Liberal Party. 50 lbs. DOG FOOD '8" FREE DELIVERY 345-5597 .
