C= Tel Aviv (JTA) — Halley's Comet, now making its once- in-a-lifetime appearance, may not have been discovered by British astronomer Edmund Halley after all, according to Rabbi Zvi Ilani, of Bar-Ilan University. A comet which appears every 70 is mentioned in the Talmud, the rabbi said during a recent 1 Israel radio program about the comet. According to Rabbi Ilani, the Talmud's Seder Nezikin, section Horayoth, page (DAF) 11 says that Rabban Gamliel, on a jour- ney to Rome in the year 95, was accompanied by Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Hananya, sailing in a ship which was beset by storms and went off course owing to faulty navigation. Gamliel had taken only bread with him, but Rabbi- Yehoshua had also taken a reserve supply of flour, which he shared with his companion when Gamliel's bread ran out because of the de- lays. "Did you know that we should be so much delayed that you brought flour with you," the Talmud quoted Gamliel as ask- ing. Yehoshua replied: "A certain star rises once in 70 years and leads the sailors astray, and I suspected it might rise and lead us astray." Romania Jews Treated Well' New York — The Jewish community of Romania is faring well, its synagogues and schools L\ functioning freely without gov- ernmental restrictions, accord- ing to Romanian Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen. Rabbi Rosen, appearing at a press conference sponsored by the American Jewish Committee in New York last week, pointed out that Romania's foreign pol- icy has in recent years shown a certain degree of independence from the Soviet Union. He cre- dited the comparatively favora- ble situation of Romanian Jews to their avoidance of outright confrontations or violent demon- strations against the goverri- ment. . • Romania's status with the United States government as a "Most Favored Nation" for the purposes of trade is linked to the communist country's stand c' on human rights issues. The MFN status is due to be re- viewed by the Senate in the near future.
