Bans Removal
Stirs Rejoicing
In Bene Israel
nv LOSHUA JUSTMAN

Chief JTA Correspondent IN lSraeI
JERUSALEM - The other day
we visited some members OF the
Jewish community, OF Bene lsrael
of India. and found them quietly
rejoicing over the decision taken
bv Israers Rabbinate that removed
the ban that for centuries stooo
between them and the rest OF Jew
rv: the ban of inter-marriage.
We never felt Disseminated
against in Isra e in any otner
respect - they told us = and nat
urallv we could not blame any Oh
the rabbis here for refusing to per-
form the "mixed" marriages as
long as there was no authoritative
ruling. But thank God it has now
been resolved.
INDEED. Israels Rabbinate, IN
a bold move, resolved a problem
that for nearly 200 years was the
subject of almost continued debate
in the councils of the Rabbinlcal
world: The problem of the status
of the Indian Jewish community
of Bene Israel within Jewry.
The Jewishness of the Bene Is
rael was really never in doubt.
1--WE are the oldest living Jewish
cornmunity, the Bene Israehtes
here told us. According to their
tradition. they came to India from
Palestine 1000 years ago, following
the destruction of the Second rem
pie. This of course was never "veri-
fled" The first record available
dates back to 1885, when an ennis
sary from Safed, Rabbi Shmuel
Abbo. went to India and there took
an interest in that Jewish tribe"
which - as he reported back -
lived in ignorance of Jewish laws
and customs. However, Rabbi Alb
DO had no doubt about their being
Jews. His son, Rabbi Abraham AD-
bo who went to India 30 years
later. brought back a similar re-
nort> It was on the basis OF his
report that the Rabbis of Safed
ruled that the Bene Israel ought
to be accepted as full Jews.
THE INDIAN Jewish community
needed the ruling, but with one ex-
ception: The ban on intermarrying
with members of the Bene Israel
remained and was later fortified
by a ruling the RabbiS OF Jeru-
salem in 1916, when in reply to an
inquiry by the Baghdad Jews, they
stated that intermarriage with the
Bene Israel twas absolutely for
hidden until the advent of Mes
siah." The reason given was the
community's disregard of the rab-
binicaI marriage and divorce laws;
specifically, they did not formally
divorce their wives, thereby raising
the possibility of bastardy.
The Bene Israel Jews admitted
that their marriage and divorce
customs differed from those gener-
ally practiced, but claimed t h a
their divorced or widowed women
were never permitted to remarry.
THE PROBLEM took on an acute
form since 5000 of the 10000 mem
bers of the Bene Israel community
moved from India to Israel. Un-
like India, where the issue lay dor
mant, and because they lived sepa-
rated from the main body of the
Indian Jewish community, here the
question of intermarriage r e
soon after the arrival of the first
group, and the matter had to be
resolved in a basic manner.
''The problem should never have
been permitted to arise, and should
have been settled before the com
munty'S arrival in Israel" a
