Washington/JTA — U.S. Sen. Barack
Obama, D-Ill., clarified his recent corn-
ments on Jerusalem remaining the
undivided capital of Israel. "You know,
the truth is that this was an example
where we had some poor phrasing
in the speech, and we immediately
tried to correct the interpretation that
was given:' Obama, the presumptive
Democratic candidate for president,
said Sunday during an interview on
CNN's "Fareed Zakaria — GPS."
"The point we were simply making
was that we don't want barbed wire
running through Jerusalem, similar
to the way it was prior to the '67 war,
that it is possible for us to create a
Jerusalem that is cohesive and coher-
ent. I was not trying to predetermine
what are essentially final-status issues."
Obama said during a speech in
June to the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee that if he is elected
president, erusalem would remain
the capital of Israel and it must remain
undivided."
The Palestinians insist that east
Jerusalem should be the capital of a
future Palestinian state. In 1967, Israel
recaptured the area, which includes the
Western Wall, the holiest spot for Jews.
UJC On Conversion
New York/JTA — The United Jewish
Communities is asking Israel's prime
minister to intervene in a controversy
over conversions. Israel's Rabbinical
High Court suggested recently that
it might annul the conversions of
immigrants from the former Soviet
Union performed by Rabbi Haim
Drukman, the head of the conversion
administration established to simp
the process in Israel, rendering up to
15,000 conversions invalid. `As leaders
of the American Jewish community, we
are writing to you to express our deep
concern regarding the untenable insta-
bility that has characterized the con-
version system in Israel over the past
few months and ask for your personal
involvement," said a July 9 letter sent to
Ehud Olmert by the North American
Jewish federation umbrella organiza-
tion and signed by UJC's chairman and
president.
Israel's Chief Rabbinate has been
angling for more control over what con-
versions Israel recognizes as valid and
suggested the possibility of invalidat-
ing conversions performed by rabbis
—foreign and domestic — that the
Chief Rabbinate has not officially sanc-
tioned. The move has rankled Modern
Orthodox, Conservative and Reform
movements.
