$250,000 for the completion
of the WUPJ's Jerusalem
hostel was part of a prior
commitment by the Jewish
Agency, Yoffie said), the
Israel Education Fund (IEF)
has pledged for the first time
to raise funds for the building
of additional Reform educa-
tional institutions in Israel.
The IEF, an affiliate of the
United Jewish Appeal, until
now has restricted its chan-
neling of American dollars to
the Leo B aeck School in
Haifa, Yoffie said.
"What this means," he add-
ed, "is that despite the Jewish
Agency's express policy
against granting funds for
capital building, its affiliate
nonetheless is still committed
to raising funds on our
behalf."
At a joint meeting last Sep-
tember with the leadership of
the Jewish Agency, the UJA,
the United Israel Appeal
(UIA), the Council of Jewish
Federations (CJF), and all five
Reform organizations, the
ARZA director added, "a lot
of yelling and screaming went
on" in the wake of the liberal
movement's having received
only $266,000 for 1986-87.
Nevertheless, Yoffie said,
by pooling their resources and
presenting a united front, the
Reform leaders were able to
convince the Jewish Agency
heads of the seriousness of
their purpose and the fact
that the issues they were
fighting for — accountability
and the establishment of
clear-cut guidelines for grant
applications — could become
a model for other religious
movements to follow suit.
"What was new about our
request is that the Reform
movement as a whole came
together and put our projects
in one basket," he said, noting
that, previously, the Jewish
Agency had allocated funds
to individual arms of various
movements on an unsystem-
atic and virtually ad hoc,
basis.
For the Conservative move-
ment, which followed the
Reform's lead and asked for
more funds for similar educa-
tional and outreach projects
in Israel, that approach
already seems to have paid
off. Included in the Jewish
Agency's allocations to non-
Orthodox programs was a
line item for $864,000 to 15
Conservative programs for
next year.
According to Rabbi Mich-
ael Greenbaum, vice chancel-
lor of the Jewish Theological
Seminary, those projects in-
clude: rabbinic and teacher
training programs; outreach
to overseas students at Israeli
universities in Jerusalem,
Haifa and lel Aviv; Zionist

training at the Conservative
Kibbutz Hanaton; and fund-
ing for learning and brain-
damaged children to attend
Camp Ramah.
Only 24 hours after the
Jewish Agency's board of
govenors meeting in Jeru-
salem last week, UJA presi-
dent Stanley Horowitz
rushed a memorandum to all
federation executives in the
United States praising the
new allocations as revealing
"an indication of flexibility in
the Agency and accommoda-
tion to the requests of leaders
of the various denomina-
tions" that promises to have
a "potentially positive effect
on the UJA-Federation cam-
Paign."

Herut Leaders
Agree To Rules
For Party Parley

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Herut
leaders reached agreement
last Sunday on strict ground
rules that would allow the
party to conclude its conven-
tion which broke up in chaos
12 months ago.
If the agreement holds,
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir will be the unopposed
choice for party chairman
and no individual will be per-
mitted to stand for more than
one of the three other top
leadership posts — deputy
chairman, chairman of the
central committee and chair-
man of the secretariat.
The convention began at
the Tel Aviv fair grounds on
March 10, 1986 and was ter-
minated abruptly on March
14 without electing party
leaders. The disarray was the
result of strong challenges to
Shamir's leadership by Depu-
ty Prime Minister David
Levy and Minister of Com-
merce and Industry Ariel
Sharon.

Break Urged
With Soviet Bar

Washington (JTA) — The
national president of the
Union of Councils for Soviet
Jews, Pamela B. Cohen, has
reiterated her insistence that
the American Bar Association
abrogate its agreement with
the Association of Soviet
Lawyers.
Said Cohen: "The Soviet
Union does not recognize the
rule of law, and has, in fact in-
creased the repression and
abuse of two million Soviet
Jewish citizens at the very
time the ABA-ASL agreement
has been in place."
