In his address, Rabbi Perlow
spoke of his pain over the assas-
sination of Rabin by an Orthodox
Jew, terming it "a chillul haShem
(desecration of God's name) of
cosmic proportions, as is the sub-
sequent wave of defamation and
/l')
hatred against religious people."
He condemned confessed as-
sassin Yigal Amir's claim that
God instructed him to kill Rabin,
and said that the classification
by some religious authorities in
Israel of Mr. Rabin as a rodef, or
pursuer, was wrong.
Jewish law permits a Jew to
/- kill another person only if his life
is being directly threatened by
such a person, who is termed a
rodef, he said.
"How can serious people,
among them talmedei
chachamim (wise students of Ju-
daism) entertain such ideas?"
asked Rabbi Perlow.
Rabbi Perlow prefaced his
comments with strong criticism
of the non-Orthodox Jews who
are campaigning for the govern-
ment of Israel to recognize non-
Orthodox forms of Judaism as
legitimate.
"The forces of the left are con-
ducting a concerted drive to erase
\_
the fundamental features of our
religion," said Rabbi Perlow. The
Reform Movement is spear-
heading "Operation Equality,"
whose goal is get the Israeli par-
liament to pass legislation that
would would allow non-Orthodox
rabbis to officiate at weddings
and other life-cycle events. Only
Orthodox rabbis are currently al-
lowed to officiate.
A counter-campaign is being
mounted by the Agudath Israel
World Organization, and led by
Agudath Israel of America Pres-
ident Rabbi Moshe Sherer.

Syria Responsible
For Attacks

Jerusalem (JTA) — Prime Min-
ister Shimon Peres called on
Syria to restrain the Islamic fun-
damentalist Hezbollah move-
ment, which fired Katyusha
rockets into northern Israel for
two consecutive days.
Mr. Peres told reporters dur-
ing a visit to Kiryat Shmona on
Israel's northern border that Syr-
ia, which controls parts of
Lebanon in which Hezbollah op-
erates, must take responsibility
for the rocket attacks.
Referring to remarks made by
Syria's foreign minister only a
day before during a conference in
Barcelona, Spain, Mr. Peres said
the attacks stood in sharp con-
trast to the minister's hints at re-
suming peace negotiations,
which have been stalled since
June.
The United States condemned
the attacks and called on Syria
to bring them to a halt.
