Votes To Admit Women
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Faculty Senate of the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America voted 34-8 at a special
meeting convened last week by JTS chancellor Gerson Cohen
to admit women to the Seminary's rabbinical school, effective with the start of the 1984-85 academic year. The vote,
which reportedly was boycotted by three member&of the Talmudic department, ended a vigorous debate of more than
half a decade over ordaining women as Conservative rabbis.
March Held To Protest
Anti-Semitism In Argentina
NEW YORK (JTA)—An Argentine Jewish student attending the Rabbinical School of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America here, reported last week that 6,000 Argentinian Jews and non-Jews marched recently in Buenos Aires to
urge government action on a growing spate of anti-Semitic
incidents and violations of human rights. Rolando Matalon,
who is also a student at the Rabbinical Latino Americano in
Buenos Aires, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that the
march was sponsored by the Jewish Movement for Human
Rights (JMHR), a national, organization. Matalon, who has
been studying at the Conservative seminary here for two
years, said the demonstration was led by Rabbi Marshall
Meyer, director of the Buenos Aires Seminary.

last week for the United
States' invasion of Grenada,

course the lighting of candles for peace in the world,
peace in Israel, for happy

Among the many projects
maintained by the American
Mizrachi Women is the Kfar
Batya Children's Village in
Raanana, Electronic technician graduates are immediately assigned as electronic
technicians in the Israeli
'Army. The Department of
Agriculture has given special recognition to Kfar
Batya for its activities in
ecological preservation and
voluntary efforts. Some of
the 600 girls enrolled in Beit
Zeirot in Jerusalem and 1000
_girls enrolled in Beit Zeirot
in Tel Aviv are engaged in
the study of computer programming, industrial laboratory assistant training,
secretarial skills and as
administrators. Graduates
are leaders in all fields of
endeavor. The latest project,
announced last week.
The announcement was
made at a session of the
American Jewish committee's International Relations
Commission during AJC's
annual- National Executive
Council meeting at the Belle-
vue Stratford Hotel here last
week.
Gordon Zacks, chairman
of the Commission, stated
that the findings must be
seen against the background
of intensified Soviet attempts to repress the rights
of the Jewish population in
the Soviet Union.
"This campaign," he said,
"parallels the growing
efforts to establish an anti-
Zionist committee as a central instrument for intimidating the Jewish community in Russia and to silence
"protests there and abroad."
Dr.-Marc H. Tanenbaum,
director of-AJC's International Relations Department
(IRD), stated that the survey, the work of Allan L.
Kagedan, an IRD research
analyst, indicated that
"Soviet Jews encounter discrimination in employment
in scientific research institutions as well as in universities."
The magnitude of Soviet
discrimination is reflected in

enrolled in higher educational institutions in 1969;

man of the National Republican Committee, in introducing Rosenne, said Israel was
"one of the closest allies that
exists anywhere in the world
of the United States of
America."
U.S., Israel 'United More
Than Ever*
Rosenne stressed that
' while there were "some differences of opinion" between
the U.S. and Israel and there
are some who would like to
turn these differences into
"rifts," this would not happen. "We are united more
than ever," he declared. ,
Offering Israel's condolences for the heavy loss of
life in the terrorist bombing
of the marine corp headquarters in Beirut, Rosenne
said, "We are with you in the
days of joy and we are with
you in the days of mourning."
Rosenne stressed that
Israel hopes "Lebanon will
be able to regain its independence." But he noted "It's
not a problem that concerns
the region only, it's a world
problem."
Blames Syria For
Preventing Peace
In Lebanon
The Israeli envoy blamed
Syria for preventing Lebanese national reconciliation,
saying  Syria   has   never
wanted  an   independent
Lebanon. He accused Syria
of being behind the marine
corp headquarters bombing,
the  bombing  of  the  U.S.
Embassy in Beirut last April
and other terrorist acts in
Lebanon.
"Syria's attitude is nothing new to us," he said. "For
20 years they used to shell

on Israel.	
AZF Declares
Nov. 19 National
Zionist Shabbat
NEW YORK (JTA)—Raymond Patt, president of the
American Zionist Federation, has called upon Jewish
communities across the
nation to reserve the Sabbath of Nov. 19 to participate
in a national Zionist Shabbat
to enhance American Jews'
knowledge of Zionism and
Israel,
Patt stressed that for this
year's AZF observance, "It
is especially necessary for
all congregations and organizations to participate, to
help counter negative propaganda reaching the Jewish ■
community." He said, "To
sustain broad-based support
for Jewish nationhood, the
case for Jewish national
existence must be re-explained from the ground up.
We are looking for a mass reeducation of the Jewish public here."
November is historically
associated with Zionism as
the month in which the Balfour Declaration was signed
(Nov. 2,1917) and the month
in which the United Nations
approved a partition of Palestine (Nov. 29, 1947). More
recently' November has
gained notoriety in the
United Nations as a time for
launching scurrilous anti-
Israel resolutions.
