Jerusalem (JTA) — Elec-
tions for Israel's chief
Ashkenazic rabbi, held once
every 10 years, have been
thrown into disarray by ar-
ticles in the press linking
the leading candidate to
women other than his wife.
A petition demanding that
the elections be postponed
pending full examination of
the accusations has been
forwarded to the state at-
torney general by a
Jerusalem resident who
some claim is acting in col-
lusion with rival candidates
for the post.
At the center of the storm
is Tel Aviv's chief rabbi,
Yisrael Lau, who was ex-
pected to be elected the top
Ashkenazic rabbi in the
country. But damaging
charges about the rabbi's
personal life, first printed in
the Tel Aviv weekly Ha'ir,
have started to erode his
support.
Two important rabbinical
figures have expressed their
reservations about Rabbi
Lau's qualifications for the
position. The current occu-
pant in of the post, Rabbi
Avraham. Shapira, said the
election should be postponed
until the issue is fully in-
vestigated.
Rabbi Shlomo Goren, a
former chief rabbi of Israel,
says Lau in effect dis-
qualifies himself if he
doesn't sue the newspaper
for libel.
The whole scandal is also
mixed up in the politics for
electing the new chief rabbi.
Reports said that Leon
Katsch, the Jerusalem man
who petitioned the attorney
general, was acting in con-
sort with one of two other
rival candidates for the post:
Haifa's chief rabbi, Haifa
Shear Yashuv Cohen, and
Rabbi Simcha Kook of
Rehovot.
Rabbi Katsch, who claim-
ed to be acting independent-
ly out of concern for the dig-
nity of the office, said
through his lawyer that he
would also appeal to Israel's
High Court of Justice if his
petition to the attorney gen-
eral fails.
Rabbi Goren also remark-
ed to the media that the
other candidates, Rabbi
Cohen and Rabbi Kook, were
unsuitable for the post be-
cause they were insufficient-
ly learned in Talmud and
Jewish law, or Halachah.
The scandal has renewed
calls within Israel's Masorti
movement — Israel's Con-
servative movement — to
dissolve entirely the institu-
tion of the Chief Rabbinate<
of Israel "in view of the pre-
sent wave of ugly accusa-
tions."
Rabbi Philip Spectre, ex-
ecutive director of the
Masorti movement, called
upon the Knesset to debate!
the issue of whether to 1
dissolve the rabbinate.
"There is no foundation I
whatsoever in the Jewish
tradition for a chief rab-
binate," said a statement
issued by the Masorti
movement. -)
In addition to the scandal
surrounding Rabbi Lau,
some controversy exists con-
cerning the elections for the '
chief Sephardic rabbi of
Israel.
Prominent Labor Knesset
member Avraham Burg has I
called on his party to recon-
sider its support for the can-
didate supported by the Or-
thodox Sephardic Shas par-
ty, Rabbi Eliahu Bakshi-
Doron of Haifa.
Israel Plans
First Casino
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel
may have moved a step
closer toward having its first
gambling casino after Fi-
nance Minister Avraham
Shohat told the Knesset last
week that he favors chang-
ing the law to allow such
gaining halls.
Mr. Shohat told Parlia-
ment that casinos would
boost Israel's tourism.
Members of Israel's Or-
thodox religious parties
spoke out against the idea,
and it was decided that the
issue should be studied in a
Knesset committee.
Mr. Shohat said the
southern seaside resort of
Eilat would be unable to
compete against neighbor-
ing Jordanian and Egyptian
Red Sea resorts unless it
offered gambling.
Mr. Shohat also mentioned
that thousands of Israelis
travel to Greece, Turkey,
Egypt and even the United
States specifically to enjoy
gambling.
Under present Israeli law,
organized gambling is il-
legal,except for certain lotto
competitions and soccer
pools that must be supervis-
ed.
