Detroit Jewish News

JN 1 2/98

The bill passed 50-49, with for-
mer defense minister Yitzhak
Mordechai — the candidate for
prime minister with the new centrist
party — casting the deciding vote.
North American Reform and
Conservative leaders came back with
vows to withhold financial support
from Israeli candidates who support-
ed the bill. ARZA rabbis tried to
meet with Mordechai and his. No. 2,
Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, in Israel this
week. But both Israelis took off
unexpectedly for the United States
for another round of fund-raising,
where they heard about the religious
pluralism issue from angry American
Jews, Rabbi Hirsch said.
However, the North American rab-
bis did press their concerns with
Knesset members such as prime min-
isterial candidate Benny Begin and
others.
The Diaspora rabbis also were
reacting sharply to the recent remarks
by Sephardic Chief Rabbi Eliahu
Bakshi-Doron. He basically said that
the Jewish people are losing more
members to Reform "assimilation"
than they did to the Holocaust.
"If this had been said by anybody
in any other country, it would have
immediately been widely denounced
as a fundamentally anti-Semitic state-
ment," said Rabbi Hirsch.
Especially disturbing, he added,
was that nobody in the government
denounced Rabbi Bakshi-Doron's
statement.
"This really casts a shadow over
Israeli democracy," said Rabbi Hirsch.
"All societies have their extremists;
one of the ways you measure the
health of a society is by the reaction
to these extremists."
In a related development, fervently
Orthodox leaders are raising money
to cover penalties that the High
Court of Justice is imposing on the
heads of some local religious councils.
The court is imposing the fines on
those council leaders who ignore a
recent court ruling ordering them to
allow Conservative and Reform repre-
sentatives to attend council meetings.
Last week, the court fined the head of
the Jerusalem council some $7,300
for failing to abide by the ruling.
That fine and other actions,
including the arrest of some
Orthodox believers who had attacked
a group of what they considered
Christian missionaries led to a mas-
sive protest in the Mea Shearim
neighborhood Sunday attended by
several thousand Orthodox. fl
