quoted in major publications.
During the late 1970s, he
lead the movement to allow
women to be ordained as rab-
bis by JTS. Following his
retirement as executive vice
president, Kelman remained
at the seminary to direct the
Louis Finklestein Institute of
Religious and Social Studies.
Born in Vienna in 1923,
Rabbi Kelman graduated
from the University of Toron-
to and was ordained by the
Jewish Theological Seminary
in 1950.
During World War II, he
saw active service with the
Royal Canadian Air Force as
a pilot.
Rabbi Kelman was at the
forefront of the social justice
movement. In the 1960s,
Kelman went to Selma, Ala.,
where he marched together
with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.
Rabbi Irwin Groner, presi-
dent of the Rabbinical
Assembly, called him a
"champion of pluralism, a
wise and sensitive counselor,
a strong advocate for Soviet
Jewry, interfaith dialogue
and the welfare of Israel."
Rabbi Kelman was active in
many ventures, including ser-
ving as a former represen-
tative to the U.S. Mission to
the United Nations; chair-
man of the American Section
of the World Jewish Congress
since 1986; a member of the
board of directors of the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Socie-
ty; and as director of the joint
Placement Commission of the
Rabbinical Assembly of
America, the United
Synagogue of America and
the Jewish Theological
Seminary.
During the coming week Yeshiva Beth Yehudah will observe
the yahrzeits of the following departed friends, with the
traditional memorial prayers, recitation of kaddish and
studying of mishnayos.

Bird Study Delays
VOA Negev Station
Tel Aviv 20 (JTA) — Con-
struction of the Voice of
America radio relay station
in the Negev will be delayed
for two years, pending com-
pletion of a two-year survey
on its possible damage to
migrating birds, the Nation-
al Council for Building and
Planning announced last
week.
The National Planning
Council voted 8-6, with one
abstention, to approve the
delay to allow for another
two-season study of the bird
migration problem.
Reuven Irador, Israeli co-
ordinator of the VOA pro-
ject, said opponents of the
plan hoped the Americans
would become so tired of the
battle with local protest
groups that they would
finally abandon its construc-
tion.
The U.S. government has
continued its enthusiasm for
the project, despite the thaw-
ing of the Cold War.
Advocates for the protec-
tion of nature, particularly
birds, base their opposition
to the placement of the giant
transmitters on the fact that
Israel's Negev is a tradi-
tional path for migratory
birds, including storks and
birds of prey, on their an-
nual journey between their
summer homes in Europe
and their wintering grounds
in Africa.
Most migratory birds in
Central and Eastern Europe
use the Israeli land bridge
between Europe and Africa.
Many of those spending
their summers in Western
Europe travel via Gibraltar.
Although it may be their
first intercontinental flight,
the birds' sense of the route
is so inbred that hundreds of
thousands of birds use the
exact same route and over-
night roosting fields year
after year, both coming and
going.
Critics of the VOA relay
station claim that high
antennas directly under the
birds' flight path, and espe-
cially the high-level elec-
tromagnetic radiations from
the transmitters, can upset
their navigational instincts.
The selected site for the
relay station also means
that the Israel Defense Force
must find new training
areas, to avoid damaging
Israel's wilderness areas and
beauty spots, which the
Society for the Protection of
Nature in Israel wants to
preserve for nature study
and tourism.
Potential danger to the
health of residents of kib-
butzim and villages in the
Negev are cited as reasons
for canceling the project,
although the argument
regarding possible birth
defects or cancerous effects
of the electromagnetic radia-
tion was dismissed at
previous meetings of the Na-
tional Planning Council.
Bilateral negotiations for
building the station began
six years ago, and the formal
agreement was signed three
years ago.
