Women Invested As
Conservative Cantors
BEN GALLOB
ew York — The Can-
tors Institute of the
Jewish Theological
Seminary (JTS) voted to ad-
mit women candidates for the
first time only a year ago
February, yet four women
already have received
diplomas as the first conser-
vative women cantors and
have secured cantorial
positions.
The issue of training
women as cantors under Con-
servative auspices has been
debated for years, though
with less controversy than
during the debate on whether
to admit women to the JTS
rabbinical school.
But Dr. Ismar Schorsch,
JTS chancellor, explained
that "admitting women to the
Cantor's Institute is simply a
further application of the
•principles applied to the deci-
sion to admit women to the
rabbinical school in 1983."
He said the decision was
"both in full accord with
halachah (Jewish religious
law) and the culmination of a
century-long evolution of the
status of women under the
law."
Under that decision,
diplomas can be awarded to
women who agree to accept
the obligation of daily prayer
. and other commandments
obligatory for men. For exam-
ple, such women candidates
were taught to don phylacter-
ies and to recite the required
prayers.
Rabbi Morton Leifman, the
'' Cantors Institute dean, • said
that the Conservative can-
torial school had been admit-
ting women for several years
to study for the degree of
bachelor of sacred music. In
addition, he said, the in-
stitute grants advanced
degrees to men and women
trained in non-cantorial
fields, such as musicology.
Thus the first Conservative
cantorial diplomas awarded
to women were retroactive.
Marla Rosenfeld Barugel of
Merrick, N.Y., and Erica Lip-
pitz of Evanston, Ill., receiv-
ed their diplomas at JTS
graduation ceremonies last
May. They also received the
degree of bachelor of sacred
music.
Having enrolled in the Can-
tors Institute preceding the
decision to grant cantorial
diplomas to women, Barugel
and Lippitz were interviewed
for the degree by Schorsch,
Leifman and Cantor Max
Wohlberg, professor of liturgy
and Chazzanut.
Two other students at the
institute, Linda Shivers of
Pompano Beach, Fla., and
Elaine Shapiro of Waltham,
Mass., were later interviewed
on the same basis and
accepted.

Shamir Gains
In Israeli Poll
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres re-
mains Israel's most popular
choice for prime minister, but
his Likud rival, incumbent
Yitzhak Shamir, has man-
aged to close the popularity
gap considerably in recent
months, according to a public
opinion poll published in the
daily Maar iv.
Peres, who heads the Labor
Party, was favored for the top
post by 35.4 percent of
Israelis, while Shamir polled
27.3 percent, according to the
survey, which was conducted
by the Modi'in Ezrachi
Research Institute.
But Peres' popularity has
dropped from 42.7 percent
last November and 37.7 per-
cent in January, while
Shamir's has risen from 18
percent in November and 17
percent in January.
Ariel Sharon, a hawkish
member of Likud's Herut
wing, came in third for choice
as premier, with 6.8 percent,
and Defense Minister Yitz-
hak Rabin was favored by five
percent.
Trade Bill
Is Amended
Washington (JTA) —A
House-Senate conference
committee approved an
amendment to the Omnibus
Trade Bill that reduces the
possibility of Israel being
penalized by existing regula-
tions. The amendment, in-
troduced by Sen. Daniel
Moynihan (D-N.Y.), makes it
less likely that Israel will in-
correctly be hit with tariff
penalties aimed at foreign
countries that dump products
on the U.S. market or take ad-
vantage of their own export or
Manufacturing subsidies to
Challenge U.S. industry.
The Moynihan amendment
is also designed to fill holes in
the 1985 Free Trade Area
(FTA) Agreement between
the United States and Israel.
The provisions in the amend-
ment are similar to those
contained in the pending U.S.-
Canadian FTA agreement.
