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.
