Likud Liberal
Faction Blamed
for Bill's Defeat
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Agudath Israel of
America blamed "the
shortsighted and un-Jewish
perspective to Judaism" of
the Liberal Party faction of
the Likud for the defeat in
Israel's Knesset of an
amendment to the Law of
Return which would have
recognized as converts to
Judaism only persons con-
verted according to
Halakha.
The controversial "Who is
a Jew" amendment was de-
feated last week by a vote of
58-50. Six Likud Liberals
voted with the opposition
Labor Alignment to reject
the measure which was
strongly supported by Pre-
mier Menahem Begin and
the religious parties in his
coalition. Six others did not
vote or absented themselves
from the Knesset chamber
during the balloting. Five
Liberals supported the
amendment as did one
Labor MK. The amendment
was introduced by the
Agudat Israel.
In its statement, the
Agudath Israel of America
noted that the action of the
Liberal Party was particu-
larly regrettable in light of
the recent decision by the
Reform Central Conference
of American Rabbis which
resolved at its national con-
vention' that the child of a
non-Jewish mother married
to a Jew is to be considered
Jewish.
