Czech Rabbi
Was An Informer

Prague (JTA) — The Coun-
cil of Czech Jewish Com-
munities last week accepted
the resignation of Rabbi
Daniel Mayer from his post
as rabbi of Prague and the
Czechoslovak Republic,
following his confession that
he had served as a govern-
ment informant under the
ousted Communist regime.
Mayer confessed to signing
a cooperation pledge for the
Czechoslovak secret service
a decade ago, at the age of
22.
The council took into con-
sideration Mayer's
assurances that he had
never knowingly done any
harm to any individual and
that he had done his best to
serve the Jewish commun-
ity. Nevertheless, it con-
cluded that for moral and po-
litical reasons, the rabbi
could not remain in his pre-
sent post.
The Prague Jewish con-
gregation, however, offered
to employ Mayer, the only
person in the country with a
rabbinical degree, in its
ritual questions division,
allowing him to work as a
teacher of religion and the
Hebrew language.
Mayer received his ordina-
tion from the Rabbinical
Seminary in Budapest, the
major rabbinical school in
Eastern Europe. It was in
1979, during Mayer's second
year at the seminary, that
he was recruited by the
secret service.
Without consulting the
council and his congrega-
tion, Mayer had decided to
run as a candidate in the
parliamentary elections held
earlier this month. During
inquiries into the histories of
all candidates running for
seats in the new parliament,
Mayer's cooperation pledge
to the Communist secret
police came to light.
Once the information was
revealed, Mayer publicly ac-
knowledged his role and
withdrew his candidacy.
The removal of Mayer
from the post creates a prob-
lem for the Jews of Prague,
according to Desider Galsky,
president of the Czech Jew-
ish community.
"We need a rabbi, but
prior to Mr. Mayer's taking
up of the rabbi's post, we had
not had any for about 10
years," Galsky said.
For the time being, a rabbi
from abroad may be invited
to serve temporarily in
Prague, if the problems of
language and finances can
be overcome.
