JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Menahem Begin's
son, Dr. Binyamin Zev Be-
gin, a geologist by training,
played a major role behind
the scenes in the Israeli doc-
tors' strike. It had long been
rumored that Begin was re-
lying increasingly on his
son for political advice not

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Supreme Court, in a
case which renewed the
deep schism in the Jewish
community between friends
and foes of government aid
to private schools, ruled
Wednesday that states may
grant tax relief to parents
for the costs of sending their
children to such schools.
The high court upheld the
constitutionality of a Min-
nesota law which permits
parents to claim a state in-
come tax deduction of up to
$500 a year for each for each
dependent in grades kin-
dergarten through six and
up to $300 annually for each
pupil for grades seven to 12
for tuition, textbooks and
transportation costs. The
law was passed in 1955.
After tests in district
court and an appeals court
which upheld the Min-
nesota law, the Supreme
Court agreed to hear the
case. In response, Jewish
supporters and foes filed
friend - of - the - court briefs.
Opponents argued that such
deductions by parents were
just as unconstitutional as
were direct governmental
grants to such schools.
A group of Orthodox
organizations responded
with a brief which con-
tended there was no dif-
ference between such
deductions by parents
and charitable gifts to
such schools and to other
religious institutions.
Each of the major spon-
sors signed the brief on be-
half of itself and a number of
other organizations, includ-
ing eight Jewish federa-
tions; eight Jewish commu-
nity relations councils; and
two Jewish community
councils.
The brief for the measure
was written by Nathan Le-
win, a Washington attorney
who is vice president of the
National Jewish Commis-
sion on Law and Public Af-
fairs (COLPA). Joining in
the COLPA brief were nine
national Orthodox Jewish
organizations.

Kids Get Tuition Tax Break
SAM FISHMAN
Friday, July 1, 1983 23
Minnesota is the only
state now providing such
tax benefits, but experts
here agreed that other
states would be encouraged
by Wednesday's ruling to
adopt similar legislation.
The Supreme Court
opinion was written by
Justice William Re-
hnquist. Two of his
statements, in his ruling,
were viewed by Jewish
observers as having spe-
cial relevance to the
battle within the Jewish
community over gov-
ernment aid to Jewish
day schools.
Rehnquist held that a
state's decision to defray the
cost of educational expenses
incurred by parents, regard-
less of the types of schools
their children attend, "evi-
dences a purpose that is
both secular and under-
standable."
He also wrote that an
educated populace is essen-
tial to the political and eco-
nomic health of any com-
munity, and a state's effort
to assist parents in meeting
with rising cost of educa-
tional expenses plainly
serves this secular purpose
of ensuring that the state's
citizenry is well-
educated."
ment, the Prime Minister's
Office took pains to conceal
his role. Nevertheless,
Binyamin Begin reportedly
influenced his father to
support binding arbitration
as the only way out of the
medical crisis and did much
of the behind-the-scenes
negotiating with reluctant
Cabinet ministers.
Reporters who reg-
ularly attend Cabinet
Secretary Dan Meridor's
briefing at the close of
every Cabinet session
were, on Sunday,
ushered into a side room
instead of Meridor's
office. No explanation
was given. One reporter,
who left the room briefly,
noticed Begin's son was
ensconced behind
Meridor's desk busily
engaged in telephone
conversations. When this
was brought to Meridor's
attention, the Cabinet
Secretary was visibly
embarrassed. He noted
that "Benny" Begin was a
close friend of his and of
other top officials.
Meridor denied that the
younger Begin had been re-
ceiving regular, full reports
of Cabinet deliberations. He
indicated however that the
Premier's son was closely
informed of affairs of state.
That involvement made
headlines in the Israeli
press Monday morning.
Some commentators pre-
dicted that the younger
Begin would soon become
active in politics.
