At a ceremony atBeit Hanassi in Jerusalem, Herzog noted that MDA is an organiza- tion that "arouses instinc- tive identification in the heart of every Israeli." IS 100 million ($2 million) through the lottery would cover 10 percent of MDA's operating budget. Senator Carl Levin, brother of the honoree, joined the friends of MDA at the Charlupskis and gave his encouragement to the current MDA efforts.

Hail Court's Ketuba Ruling NEW YORK (JTA) — The U.S. Supreme Court's refusal last week to review a New York State Court of Appeals ruling against an Orthodox Jewish man who refused to give his wife a re- ligious divorce in violation of their prenuptial agree- ment, was hailed by the Na- tional Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA) which had filed .a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the woman's complaint. Dennis Rapps, executive director of COLPA, said the effect in this case is to let stand the Court. of Appeals ruling which affirmed that agreements to go to a Bet Din (religious court) is enti- tled to the same degree of enforceability as any other agreement to go to arbitra- tion even to resolve religi- ous issues. The New York Court of Appeals issued its ruling last February in the case of Susan Avitzur who com- plained that her former husband, Boaz, whom she divorced in 1978 by civil de- cree, refused to honor their prenuptial agreement (ketuba) which required the couple to appear before a rabbinical court to settle marital disputes involving Jewish marriage standards. Boaz Avitzur would not appear before the Bet Din or grant his wife a religi- ous divorce (get) without which an Orthodox Jew cannot remarry. He ar- gued that enforcement of the agreement violated the principle of separa- tion of church and state. When New York's highest court ruled against him, Avitzur appealed to the Supreme Court. According to Rapps, it is unclear what the next step in the case will be. "While it is clear that the husband can be required to go to a Bet Din, there is considera- ble dispute as to the juris- diction the agreement con- fers on the Bet Din," he noted. Rapps said that the ag- reement "does not refer di- rectly, to a Jewish religious divorce but rather to the au- thority of the Bet Din to `counsel' the couple in mat- ters concerning their mar- riage. Thus there may be further litigation as what the Bet Din can decide be- fore the parties ever get to the Bet Din." NEW YORK (JTA) — Rabbi Hayyim Kassorla, 26, has been chosen to lead the Magen David Sephardic Congregation in San Fran- cisco, that city's only Sephardic congregation.
