`Who Is a Jew'
Bill Withdrawn
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
surprise action by Agudat
Isfael Knesseters that
would require "Halakhic
conversions" for a person to
be considered a Jew was
withdrawn in the Knesset
on Tuesday after it became
apparent that the bill would
be defeated.
The "Who Is a Jew" bill
was introduced at the insis-
tence of the Agudat Israel
Council of Sages. It was
pushed by the Hasidic
Rabbi of Gur, who wanted
action on the bill before the
Knesset adjourned the
Passover.
Ambassador Abba Eban, world statesman and -a
founding father of Israel, will speak at the Oakland
Center Crockery at 2:15 p.m. on Monday, April 5. Mr.
Eban will offer a unique perspective on the topic "Can
There be Peace in the Mideast?"
Mr. Eban is a remarkable figure in Israeli history and
has been involved with almost every diplomatic effort
Israel has taken. He served as liaison officer for the
Jewish Agency to the United Nations Special Commit-
tee on Palestine (UNSCOP), which recommended that
a Jewish State be established in -Palestine. Once the
nation of Israel was established, Eban served as the
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations and the
United States concurrently. He then served as the
Minister of Education and Culture and was the first to
improve the education for non-European Israelis '
the new nation. He became Deputy Prime Mini.
under Levi Eshkol and was named Foreign
by Golda Meir. Eban served as Foreign Minister dur-
ing several of Israel's most dramatic moments: the Six
Day War, the Munich Olympic Tragedy, and the Yom
Kippur War. Eban is currently a member of the Knes-
set (the Israeli Parliament) and is active in the search
for a lasting peace in the Mideast.
