itiative. Laborite Rafael Edri,
chairman of the coalition
Knesset faction, was furious
with the religious parties in
the coalition for failure to
comply with the agreement.
Likud must vote against
the amendment, he said.
Labor has made clear that it
will vote against it, the posi-
tion taken by the Labor Par-
ty caucus and in its election
platform. Only Rabbi Mena-
chem HaCohen, the Labor
Party's spiritual mentor, was
given dispensation on this
issue.
The motion for debate was
presented by Avner Shaki of
the National Religious Party,
Rabbi Avraham Werdiger of
the Poale Agudat Israel and
Avraham Shapiro of the
Agudat Israel.
The religious lobby seeks to
amend the Law of Return,
which confers automatic
citizenship on every Jew
desiring it, by defining a Jew
as a person born of a Jewish
mother or converted "accord-
ing to halacha." The last
phrase would render invalid
conversions by non-Orthodox
rabbis.
The amendment has been
voted down consistently over
the years. The religious bloc
apparently believes it will
have Likud support this time
and will try to push the
amendment through. Likud
has indicated support in an
effort to persuade Interior
Minister Yitzhak Peretz,
leader of the ultra-Orthodox
Shas Party, to withdraw his
resignation.
Soviet Jewish
Leukemia Victim
Gets Transplant
Jerusalem (JTA) — Michael
Shirman, a 32-year-old
leukemia victim, received a
bone marrow transplant from
his sister, Inessa Flerova at
Hadassah Hospital here last
Sunday, in a final attempt to
save his life.
The outlook, however, is not
good, according to doctors.
Although the chances for suc-
cess are best when the donor
is a sibling, Shirman's condi-
tion deteriorated seriously
during the long wait while his
sister sought to obtain an exit
visa from Soviet authorities
to come to Israel. She first ap-
plied last February. Shirman
immigrated to Israel in 1980.
His sister was finally
granted a visa in November
after the Soviet authorities
relented and allowed her hus-
band and their two daughters
to accompany her. Shirman
himself had urged her not to
come without her family
because she might never see
them again.
