Rabbi

Continued on preceding page

proclaimed messiah.
The rabbi has now wrestl-
ed with the Holocaust and
genocides and massacres for
three decades. Neither dour
nor downbeat, he no longer
believes in the moral pro-
gress of mankind.
"The best we can do," he
said, "is elect people who
create less of a chance of
genocide on our planet."
Since writing After
Auschwitz, Rabbi Rubens-
tein has written an average
of one book every four years.
Yet, that is the book for
which he will always be re-
membered, the one that
drove the "renegade son,"
as Rabbi Berenbaum has
called him, out of the Jewish
community. A dime-store
psychologist might say that,
among the Moonies, Rabbi
Rubenstein* found the accep-
tance and, certainly, the fi-
nancial resources that the
Jewish community had de-
nied him.
Yet, the rabbi never con-
sidered himself a
"renegade":
"I still belong to the Rab-
binical Assembly of America
[the umbrella group for Con-
servative rabbis in the U.S.]
and I belong to a Reform
congregation in Tallahassee.
I haven't had a fight with
anyone in the Jewish com-
munity in almost 20 years. I
never turned my back on the
Jewish community." ❑

Kessim Fail
Recognition

Jerusalem (JTA) — Hav-
ing failed to win full- fledged
recognition from Israel's two
chief rabbis, the Ethiopian
Jewish community's re-
ligious leaders have resum-
ed a sit-in demonstration at
the Prime Minister's Office.
The religious leaders,
known as kessim, are seek-
ing the authority granted
rabbis in Israel to perform
marriages and divorces.
Their request has met with
consistent refusal on the
part of Israel's chief rab-
binical council.
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Avraham Shapiro told the
kessim that they were not
sufficiently knowledgeable
to carry out these duties and
at most would be permitted
to act as religious guides,
pending a review of the
matter.
The Ethiopian clerics re-
jected his offer to set up a
committee to study the issue
and instead left Hechal
Shlomo, the seat of the Chief
Rabbinate, for the Rose

Garden and the sit-in.
