However, in an interview with the Jewish press representatives several days ago he added his hope that the new Israeli government would be "more reasonable in tone" than previously. back Rabbi Raphael as the July 24 guest speaker and invites the community to join them on that Friday night.

Beth Shalom welcomes JERUSALEM (JTA)- The National Religious Party was thrown into a quandary last week when the Chief Rabbinate issued a communique rejecting any compromise on the controversial "Who Is a Jew" amendment to the Law of Return.

The project is being conducted to document Holocaust survivors' experiences as a living oral history. The tape-recorded interviews will serve as an important Holocaust archive as well as a significant educational teaching, instrument. Copies of the taped interviews will be made available to schools, organizations and other community groups for Holocaust studies. In addition copies of the interviews will be sent to Yad Vashem in Israel, to be added to their documentation center., The Holocaust Survivors Archive Project of the Community Relations Committee is interested in recruiting volunteers who would like to assist in conducting interviews of Holocaust survivors now living in Columbus." Interviewers will be required to participate in an intensive educational training program concerning the Holocaust and oral history techniques. Interested persons are encouraged to contact the CRC (237-7686) for more information and to volunteer. The issue is bound to affect the coalition negotiations between the NRP and Likud inasmuch as Premier Menachem Begin has stated flatly that he cannot commit himself to force his non-Orthodox colleagues in the Knesset to vote for the amendment which would disqualify conversions made by other than Orthodox rabbis "according to halacha."-- ' Were the NRP to join a Likud-led government on those terms it would be dis- - Recent graduates of The Columbus Hebrew School 1981 class are pictured above.

On the other hand, some NRP circles maintain that the question is a political one since it requires amending a law and the Chief Rabbis should not be consulted on political matters.
