JERUSLAM (JTA) The cabinet
Tuesday approved and sent to the
Knesset draft legislation that will
establish religious criteria as the only
valid instrument for determining who
is a Jew. The measure was worked
out by a ministerial committee on
legislative matters in line with last
week's cabinet decision to amend the
Law of Return so that the non-Jewish
spouses and children of immigrants
receive equal rights but cannot be
registered as Jews.
The draft meets Orthodox demands
to nullify last month's Supreme
Court ruling that persons may be
Jewish by nationality even if they are
not Jewish by religion.
But it is almost certain to raise
Orthodox hackles because it would
accept conversion to Judaism per-
formed by a non-Orthodox rabbi.
The bill that emerged from the com-
mittee goes beyond the original
cabinet proposals by extending equal
privileges to the grandchildren of
mixed marriage immigrant families.
It also stipulates that the registrar

of the population must accept the
immigrants' statements unless he has
documentary or other valid proof
that the statements are incorrect. This
will place the burden of proof on the
ministry of interior rather than on the
migrant in cases where "Jewishness"
is in doubt.
The Orthodox National Religious
Party opposed the liberal element in
the amendment to the Law of Return.
The minister for religious affairs,
Zerach Warhaftig, who is a member
of the ministerial committee that pro-
duced the draft, tried to have them
deleted. He also demanded that the bill
affirm the exclusivity of the Orthodox
rabbinate in matters of conversion but
was rejected by his colleagues.
According to Jewish law, a person
is Jewish only if born of a Jewish
mother or converted to Judaism.
The Orthodox insist that only
Orthodox rabbis are qualified to
perform conversions and refuse to
recognize conversions performed
by rabbis of the Conservative and
Reform branches of Judaism.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Knesset Tuesday easily defeated a
motion of no-confidence filed agaist
the government by the opposition
of HaOlam Hazeh faction over the
proposed amendments to the Law of
Return. The vote was 73:5.
But the chamber was thrown into
an uproar when Shalom Cohen of
HaOlam Hazeh dramatically tore up
his identity card in a symbolic pro-
test against the amendment which
establishes religious criteria as the
sole determinant of who is entitled to
Jewish nationality.
The tiny (two-man) faction
demanded that nationality be deleted
from the population registration
forms and identity cards. The speak-
er of the Knesset, Reuben Barket,
threatened to take legal action
against Cohen for violating the
decorum of the chamber. But legal
experts said the threat was an idle

one because the Knesset member
enjoys parliamentary immunity.
Yurl Averni, the Tel Aviv magazine
publisher who heads HaOlam Hazeh,
argued that religion and nationality
are a personal affair and should not
be subjected to prying officials or
listed on personal identity cards.
Minister of Justice Yaacov
Shimshon Shapiro declined to com-
ment on ground that the matter will
be debated in the Knesset next week
when the amendment to the Law of
Return comes up for a vote, but he
criticized HaOlam Hazeh for bring-
ing up a motion of no confidence
on a measure that has not yet been
discussed by the Knesset. HaOlam
Hazeh was supported in the vot-
ing by two Communist factions.
Abstentions were recorded by the
State List, headed by former Premier
David Ben-Gurion, the Free Center
and the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Israel.
