American Jewish Leaders Warned Against Voice in Israel Religious Life
SPRING GLEN, N.Y.
(JTA) — The head of an Or-
thodox rabbinical organiza-
tion declared that American
Jewish organizations
should not seek to influence
what Jewish religious
dominations are accepted in
Israel.
"It is not the objective of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion or the Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies and
the United Jewish Appeal
to assure a victory of one or
another religious domina-
tion" in their struggle to
gain inroads in the religious
life of Israel, Rabbi Sol
,oth, president of the Rab-
oinical Council of America,
told the opening session of
the organization's 46th an-
nual convention.
"Those forums in which a
Jewish community is char-
acterized by diversity
should function in unity,"
he said. "Jewish leaders
have a sacred obligation to
preserve that unity."

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Martin S. Fox, who was re-
elected president of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
for a fourth one-year term,
announced the election of
five new members to the
JTA board of directors.
They are Robert Adelstein
of Denver, Prof. Marcus
Arkin of Johannesburg,
Irwin S. Field of Los
Angeles, Norman Jacobson
of New York and Harriet
Zimmerman of Atlanta.
In addition, Fox an-
nounced the re-election of
William M. Landau as
chairman of the board,
Robert H. Arnow as chair-
man of the executive com-
mittee and Raymond Eps-
tein, Philip Slomovitz, Mel-

children Aided
During Attacks
NEW YORK — During
the recent terrorist artillery
and rocket attacks on Is-
rael's northern settlements,
children in the air raid shel-
ters were provided with
toys, games and crafts by
the National Council of
Jewish Women Ship-A-Box
Program.
leadership
because
American Jewish leaders
"utilize large reservoirs
of power for purposes
other than those for
which they were estab-
lished."
In his address to several
hundred rabbis from across
the country, Roth charged
that American Jewish lead-
ers often set examples that
do "not contribute to the
strengthening of Jewish life
or even to Jewish survival.
"We have protested in the
past to the election of indi-
viduals to leadership in the
Jewish community whose
personal conduct is such
that if it were to inspire
emulation, as it inevitable
does, the Jewish community
would suffer dimunition
and Jewish life erosion.
Jews with non-Jewish
spouses and rabbis who of-
ficiate at mixed marriages
are not the kinds of models
that the Jewish community
can afford."
Meanwhile,
Rabbi
Shubert Spero, a vice
president of the RCA, urged
rabbis to get deeply in-
volved in federation and
welfare funds, as well as to
become leaders win na-
tional Jewish and Zionist
organizations.
Spero, who is from the
Young Israel of Cleveland
and a member of the board
of trustees of the Jewish
Community Federation of
Cleveland, told the RCA
Murders, Lebanon Invasion
Trigger 3 Bombs in Rome
ROME (JTA) — The war
in Lebanon is having seri-
ous repercussions for the
Jewish community here and
apparently has triggered a
wave of violence in the Ita-
lian capital. Three bombs
exploded early Sunday, at
the offices of the American
Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee, the Italy - Is-
raeli Chamber of Commerce
and at the main office of the
American Express. Co.
The bombings appeared
to be in reprisal for the
murders last week of two
young Palestinian activists,
Hazziz Nazegh Matar, 32,
and Kamal Hussein, the
33-year-old deputy director
of the Palestine Liberation
Organization office in
Rome. The PLO promptly
accused Israeli agents. The
Israel Embassy vehemently
denied any Israeli connec-
tion with the killings.
Meanwhile,
the
scheduled opening cere-
monies of the 11th National
Congress of the Union of
Italian Jewish Com-
munities were called off at
the last minute. The cere-
monies were to be held at
the City Hall under the
asupices of Rome's mayor
and with the prominent Ita-
lian Jewish novelist and
Holocaust survivor, Primo
Levi, as the main speaker.
The cancellation avoided
a potentially embarassing
situation. The Mayor of
Rome led a pro-PLO march
through the city only two
days before. Levi was one of
a group of Jewish writers
and intellectuals who
signed an open letter calling
for Israel's immediate with-
drawal from Lebanon.
