With the achievement of Jewish independence
the problem of a suitable legal frame for life IN
Israel has become acute.
Under the mandate civil and criminal law IN
Palestine was a mixture of Turkish ana BRUSH
elements and local regulations, while family mat
tiers could be brought before secular courts only II
thew concerned members of more than one denom-
nation Or on appeal from religious courts. Nor
mallv the law If personal status an inheritance
from Turkish oslem days, permitted each COM
munity almost complete autonomy in the settling
of family and Inheritance disputes. 1t was, Tor
instance not possible for members OF the same
community to get civil marriage or divorce ana
this state of affairs continues as long as the
Knesset enacts no specific legislation to the con-
trary.
Tn Jewish life these functions were fulfilled by
tho rabbncal courts under the authority of the
Jewish community councils. Extremely devout
nersons formed their own recognized communities
because they considered the general run OF raools
too lax. These institutions and their overall CO.
ordinating body, the Vaad Leuml, also aofrllniS
tered Jewish social services and education and
generally served as a framework OF jewish au-
tonomous government within the Manoate''
The importance of the community councils was
especially great in mixed towns. Now that the
REORGANIZATION on this pattern is becoming COM
Melted the community councils have lost to the
Townships their vital taxing rights and are sup
ported almost exclusively by government alloca-
ton from the Ministry of Religion. They RETAIN
on this basis the management OF wedolngs'
funerals divorces and all other areas OF Jursdlc-
ton of the rabbinical courts. With their former
national Importance gone they have become SUBJ
ject to serious attacks.

also fact that hardly any modern cltlzen OF lsrae
regulates his family affairs according to reHglous
law except to crcumvent it, and that many per-
sons mainly women, find themselves in situations
strange to them when they must have recourse to
these courts.
It is of course true that the present coalition
government which includes the Religious Bloc
and excludes the extreme left has expressly
undertaken not TO touch family law. AS result
learned rabbis are discovering that many
provisions for the equality of women are compat-
ible with religious law, but these proofs OF good
will are of little practical value they be con-
sidered binding only if expressly included in mar
riage and similar contracts, and failing such fore
sight the Judge is free to choose for each any
precedent he considers suitable in the age-od his
tory of Jewish judicial findings. modern codi-
fication of this vast material along acceptable lines
is therefore required for the legal protection of
women.
Those among che religiously minded who strive
to retain rabbncal jurisdiction at least in family
matters, believe that this can be accomplished in
the long run only by restoring to living rabbinica
authorities the right to adapt outdated formulas to
modern needs They know that the Jewish law
of divorce has come long way from its primitive
origins in the direction of equality for women,
and that the same progress is needed to solve
other outstanding problems.
Religious leaders fear and rightly that the ex-
tremist policy of not altering any ancient custom
and choosing the harder way in cases of doubt will
only lead to the secularizaton of the last bastion
in which traditional Jewish law still reigns SUI
preme-family life It is against this background,
and the fact that reforms in Palestine were always
hampered by the fear of opposition from rabbis
abroad, shat the efforts of the Israeli Chief Rab-
binate to be acknowledged as the supreme world
authority on points of Jewish law must be
viewed.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-09-30


The Council simultaneously re-
ported that the following rabbin-
ical organizations were taking a
leading part in the campaign to
keep Jerusalem within the frame
work of Israel: Rabbinical Coun-
Gil of America and the Union of
Orthodox Rabbits of the United
States and Canada-representing
the Orthodox religious wing; the
Rabbinical Assembly of America,
representing the conservative
wing; the Central Conference of
American Rabbits, representing
the reformed movement, and the
Synagogue Council of America
which represents all branches of
the Jewish religion.
In connection with the rabbin-
ate's strong stand on Jerusalem.
Louis LipskY. chairman of the
American Zionist Council which
represents the Zionist movement
in the United States. pointed out
that several rabbinical bodies
had sent him personal appeals.
urging the Council to bring Am
erican JewrY's strong opposition
to Jerusalem's internationaliza-
ton to the attention of the Amer
lean public.
'The rabbinate in the United
States, comprising several thous-
and rabbis of the orthodox, con-
sentative and reformed move
ments, has informed the Council
that sermons devoted to the
Jerusalem issue were scheduled
to be heard in almost every tenn
pie and synagogue in the United
States during the High Holiday
weekend. We have been inform
ed also that wires, communlca-
tons and resolutions have been
sent to President Truman in the
name of thousands of Jewish
houses of worship. What is clear
ly remarkable is that this cam
paign to Save Jerusalem has its
origin in the grass-roots of the
American Jewish community
That the rabbinate has asked the
Council to lead the fight in this
country to defeat the Cancellation
Commissions superficial and un-
realistic recommendations is
call we can scarcely ignore.
From the rabbinical bodies
who have enlisted our assistance.
we have been able to CLEAN this
overwhelming sentiment: The
Jewish religious community can
not comprehend or understand
why our representatives on the
Cancellation Commission should
become the sponsors and advo-
Gates of scheme with regard to
Jerusalem so repugnant and Of
fensive to the deepest religious
feelings of all Jews. During the

expressed. or intend to express in

future of Jerusalem. The plan

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
YoM K1PPUR STORY

ar;no and making appropriate
remarks on what they heard. It
was Yom Kippur and as is the
custom there on that day the
whole heavenly congregation of
Israel was assembled to listen to
what Jews were thinking in their
svnagosues on the earth.
Yom Kippur, as I have been
informed, is always festal oc-
easion up there. There, Jews,
having come at last to judgment
and having been acquitted and
cleansed, have no more sins to
atone for. They are through with
all manner of shining and with
all other kinds of souls-Christ-
ian, Moslem, etc.-they rejoice in
their publication.
So Yom Kippur in heaven is
day for happy listening to the
thoughts and words of earth
bound Jews in their sYnagogues.
Some may call this eaves-drop-
ping and. therefore. itself sinful:
but it is done in the friendliest
spirit with no sense Of sin.
Anyway, who may blame soul
in heaven for retaining a fault or
two that he inherited from his
earthly existence? The human
soul has so many faults to be rid
Of and it takes a long time, espec-
tally to be rid of the more pleas
ant sins, such as prying into the
affairs of neighbors.
up in heaven they were listen
ing to all the meditative MUIR
murings that were arising out of
Yom Kippur on earth. Being no
longer limited to mortal vision.
they could see far beyond the
power of mere eyes. They could
see. for example. even what was
in the mind of a Jew in the
ciborim Congregation in cincin-
natl. Ohio.
To make Yom Kippur even
more pleasurable in heaven they
had instituted an annual Yom
Mppur contest: From all they
heard and saw of Jews in their
synagogues they selected the one
who was most deserving to give
him a great and good reward.
This does not mean than on
Yom Kippur they look for big
shots whom to honor with their
blessings as is done in colleges at
graduation time when honorary
degrees are handed around. Hav-
ing come to considerable wisdom.
by reason of being so close to the
seat of wisdom. they know that
the finest Jew isn't necessarily
one who is big in the world or is
scholar who knows the Torah
word for word by heart: or is he
one who has been president of
this or that in JewrY: or that one
VINO can make the longest
speech: or the one who gives the
largest contribution.
Now, since it was again Yom
Alppur, they were listening in
heir festival mood which was di-
sected toward selecting and re-
warding the most deserving Jew
On earth. They were listening
with eyes as well as ears and as
'hey listened they argued the
merits of each case.
AT the moment they were dis
