legal in Israel, and it is
unlikely that the Health
Ministry will move to
change the law in the
foreseeable future. Accor-
ding to the law, a human
embryo may not be
implanted in the uterus of
any woman besides the
genetic mother, from whom
the fertilized ovum was
taken. But there is no law to
prevent Israelis from mak-
ing such arrangements in
some U.S. states, where it is
legal.
There is considerable dis-
agreement among rabbis
over whether a baby whose
genetic mother is Jewish is
itself Jewish, if born to a
non-Jewish surrogate
mother.
Some argue that the
biological mother deter-
mines the religion of the
baby, while former chief
rabbi Shlomo Goren has
stated that there is some
doubt and that the baby
must undergo conversion by
ritual immersion as well as
circumcision.
Another condition of con-
version, he has said, is that
the biological parents com-
mit themselves to a religious
way of life, which on a
secular kibbutz would not be
easy.
Jobs Lost,
Economy Down
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Growing
numbers of Israelis are be-
ing laid off their jobs as a
declining economy and fears
for safety are causing many
enterprises to cut back.
Newspapers seem to be es-
pecially hard hit, with job
losses and reduced editions
reported at the Jerusalem
Post and Hadashot.
The Post, Israel's only
English-language daily, will
lay off 60 employees because
of advertising and circula-
tion losses, Israel Radio re-
ported Wednesday.
The cuts will come from
the editorial, administrative
and press departments.
More than 60 Post
employees were fired last
year for economic reasons
after the paper was placed
under new management
following its acquisition by a
foreign chain.
An additional 30 editorial
staffers quit in protest
against new editorial and
managerial policies.
The severe slump in
tourism has caused the Air-
port Authority to let go some
300 employees at Ben-
Gurion Airport, where pas-
senger traffic has been down
sharply in recent months.
