Box 3660 Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10163 0 New York (JTA) — Orthodox Jewish leaders this week deplored the defeat in the Knesset of an amendment to the Law of Return. The proposed measure would have added the words "according to Halachah" to define who is a Jew. The Orthodox leaders also sharply criticized American Jewish religious secular leaders who called upon Israeli politicians to reject the amendment. The controversial proposition, which would have invalidated conversions performed by non- Orthodox rabbis in Israel and abroad, was defeated by a vote of 62-51 on its first reading in the Knesset last Wednesday. The Law of Return currently defines a Jew as a person born of a Jewish mother or converted. The Agudath Israel of America, in a statement made over the weekend, said that the issue is not"Who is a Jew" but "Who is a Convert." The proposed amend- ment "would have ensured that all who enter Israel under the conversion provision were in fact converted in a manner acceptable to all Jews," Agudath Israel said. Its statement declared: "Let the halachic standpoint be crystal clear. All Jews born of a Jewish mother, whether they are obser- vant of Orthodox Jewish practice or not, and regardless of how they label themselves, are fully mem- bers of the Jewish people. As for acceptance of outsiders into the =( ranks of Jewry, conversion ac- cording to Halachah has always c been the single acceptable means for a non-Jew to become part of the Jewish nation." Agudath Israel, in criticizing < the American Jewish non- Orthodox leaders, said it was "shocked and deeply troubled" by a joint statement they issued last week which said that the proposed change in the Law of Return "would do violence to the principle of Jewish unity and jeopardize the sense of solidarity that binds the Jewish people everywhere to the State of Israel." In response, Agudath Israel said that these leaders are "prom- oting the fragmentation" of the Jewish people by "seeking to legitimize a multiplicity of standards in the place of one defi- nition of Jewishness that 'was universally accepted by Jews through the ages." In another response to the de- feat of the proposed amendment to the Law of Return, the Orthodox Coalition for the Sanctity of Israel declared in a statement that "all Continued on next page
