Clinic Seeks
'Jewish Eggs
London (JTA) — A Nottingham
fertility clinic has become the first
in Britain to appeal publicly to
Jewish women to donate their
eggs.
The recent move has been
welcomed by infertile Jewish
women, but it has highlighted
the dispute among leading Or-
thodox rabbis as to whether egg
donation contravenes Jewish
law. •
The national campaign was
launched by the fertility clinic at
Queen's Medical Centre. The
clinic's director, Dr. Simon Fishel,
is Jewish. The clinic is sending
information — it has also offered
to send speakers — to Jewish
groups.
The campaign, prompted . by
the increasing number of Jewish
women who want Jewish egg
donors, encourages potential
Jewish donors to contact fertili-
ty centers in their area.
"On religious grounds, it is
unique," Dr. Fishel said in an in-
terview.
Dr. Daniel Sinclair, a rabbi
who also is an adviser to Chief
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on Jew-
ish medical ethics, said donor
anonymity was an obstacle to the
practice being acceptable under
Jewish law, Halachah.
Debbie Weinberg, who is on
a donor waiting list, said, "Many
Jewish women would prefer a
Jewish egg donor. It's vital that
Jewish women respond to this
appeal."
Stock Offering
Is Delayed
London (JTA) — A kibbutz-
owned company has postponed
plans to publicly offer its shares
on the main London stock mar-
ket because of the recent violence
between Israelis and Palestini-
ans.
Plasson, operated by Kibbutz
Ma'agan Michael, which is situ-
ated between Tel Aviv and Haifa,
was due to begin trading Oct. 9.
It would have become the first Is-
raeli company on the main stock
exchange.
But 10 of the 35 institutions
backing the issue pulled out in
the wake of the violence last
month sparked by Israel's open-
ing of a new entrance to a tunnel
adjacent to Jerusalem's Temple
Mount. As a result of the violence
that ensued, a total of 76 people
were killed.
David Cohen, who is with So-
ciete Generale Strauss Turnbull
and who is a financial adviser for
the stock offering, said, "I only
ope that politicians in Israel
recognize that the effects of the
volatile situation are financial
and commercial, as well as po-
litical — and that in a small way,
it may help the Netanyahu gov-
ernment to clarify its thinking
about the costs of peace."
Jerusalem Post
Has New Editor
Jerusalem (JTA) — Jeff Barak,
managing editor of the
Jerusalem Post, has been ap-
pointed editor in chief of the Eng-
lish-language Israeli daily.
The announcement was made
by the paper's publisher, Yehu-
da Halevy.
Mr. Barak replaces David Bar
Man, who took a leave of absence
from the paper four months ago
to become the director of plan-
ning and communications at the
Prime Minister's Office.
Mr. Barak, 35, is originally
from Leeds, England.
Reservists
Protest Policy
Jerusalem (JTA) — A group of
33 reserve soldiers and officers
from elite Israel Defense Force
combat units has blamed Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
policies for waning motivation to
serve..
The letter, published in Israeli
newspapers, said Mr. Ne-
tanyahu's policies were destroy-
ing "the hope peace" and were
dragging the country into an un-
justified war.
The signatories warned that
the "fighting spirit has been torn
from our hearts, and without it
we do not see how we will be able
to participate and function in the
next war, may it never come."
David Bar Illan, director of
communications at the Prime
Minister's Office, said the fact
that the letter was published in
newspapers first was a sign that
it was politically motivated.
But some members of the gov-
ernment had a sharper reaction.
Agriculture Minister Rafael
Eitan of the Tsomet Party said
the letter seriously hurt Israel's
deterrence capability.
Deputy Education Minister
Moshe Peled of Tsomet said the
letter's signatories were not wor-
thy of their ranks and should be
demoted.
