Friday, November 26, 1982 63 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS j Chief Rabbi Zolti Dead at 63 JERUSALEM (JTA) — Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem Rabbi Bezalel Zolti died last week. He was 63. A long-time member of the Supreme Rabbinical Court of Appeals, he was re- garded as a foremost halakhic expert, answering written queries from rabbis around the world. As Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Zolti triggered controversy by insisting on high standards of Sabbath observance in the capital's hotels. But the hoteliers themselves came to respect him in time for his consis- tency and principled but fair approach. His learned works in Halakha are called "Mis- hnat Yaabetz" (acronym for Yaacov Bezalel Zolti). He also headed a flourishing yeshiva in Jerusalem, Yad Aharon, and was rabbi for many years of the Ohel Rivka Congregation in the Jerusalem suburb of Re- havia where he resided. Born in Vitebsk, Russia, Zolti came to Palestine as a boy and studied at the Heb- ron Yeshiva.
