Offer expires A 2/31/85 Adopted Jew Petitions Court Tel Aviv (JTA) — A 58-year-old Haifa resident who said he was born to Jewish parents but adopted by a Christian woman at the age of one month has petitioned the Rabbinical Court to be declared a Jew. Yusef Shufani said his parents were born in Germany and di- vorced when he was a month old. His father returned to Germany and his destitute mother gave him into the care of a Catholic lay nun. The nun, Animeh Shufani, at that time the headmistress of a Haifa Arab school, had him bap- tized as a Christian. She moved with him to Jordan some time later, staying there until he was 12 years old, when they returned to Haifa. He first learned he was a Jew while in Jordan, as his playmates laughed at his circumcision and his mother told him about his par- entage when he queried her. Shufani said he believes his real name is Belgond. His wife is a Christian Arab and they have six children, including a son now serving in the IDF paratroops. Shufani said on Israeli televi- sion yesterday that his wife would remain a Christian if the rabbi- nate agreed to allow him to recon- vert to Judaism. "We are a free-thinking family and I forsee no family problems. I myself tend toward returning to Orthodox Judaism," he said. Parley Focuses On Mideast Tel Twelve Mall 12 Mile &Telegraph Southfield Daily 10-9 Sunday 12-5 354-9060 Always 20% Off Professional Designers Available Rome (JTA) — The World Con- ference for Religion and Peace (WCRP) focussed on the Middle East during a three-day meeting of its European section in Paris Nov. 15-17. The Italian delega- tion reported on its return here that a special commission was set up to consider how religious lead- ers, groups and individuals can work to help achieve a lasting peace in that region. The meeting produced a work- ing paper meant to serve as a guideline or the continental, regional and antional groups, affiliated with the conference to "develop action on an interreli- gious basis." The WCRP, founded in 1970, is a category II non-governmental organization associated with the United Nations Economic and So- cial Council (UNESCO). It has branches all over the world and offices in New York and Geneva. The document that came out of the Paris meeting makes clear that the WCRP is a religious, non-political body of people "who feel anxiety at the duration of a state of violence in the Middle East." It warned that "the conflict between Arabs and Israelis, nourished by other local conflicts, could spark a global fire . . . The task of our conference is not to take the place of political leaders but to communicate essential needs."
