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.
