WASHINGTON (JTA) - After meeting with Israeli Finance Minister Yitzhak Modai last week, Secretary of State George Shultz reiterated the Reagan Administra- tion's. position against recommending economic aid to Israel until it adopts further substantive economic reforms. Modai reportedly told Shultz at their meeting that Israel faced political constraints and had done all it could to reform its economy by introducing budget cuts and instituting other austerity measures. But Shultz requested another meeting with the Finance Minister. An Israel Embassy official said he expected this meeting would be an important one. Meanwhile, the Secretary of State, in his testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, said the Administration intends to hold back on recommending a specific level of economic aid "pending further discussion with Israel and further evolution of its stabilization program." The Administration, Shultz said, had indicated its "willingness to provide extraordinary assistance in support of a comprehensive Israeli economic program that deals effectively with the fundamental imbalances in the Israeli, economy." Without such a program, "additional U.S. assistance would not resolve Israel's economic problems but merely help perpetuate them," he said. „ More Military Aid Recommended TheAdministration has recommended that Congress approve $1.8 billion in military aid for Israel, an. increase of $400 million over the amounts requested and received from Congress last year. But the Administration has held back on submitting a figure for economic aid for the fiscal year 1986 budget. Israel has requested $4.05 billion in aid altogether, as well as an additional $800 million in emergency financing to be tacked on the budget for fiscal year 1985. All in all, it has requested emergency aid of $1.5 billion that would extend over a • Maceabiah Games To Open July 15 TEL AVIV (WNS) - More than 4,000 .Jewish athletes will compete in 30 different sports at the 12th Maceabiah Games due to open at the Ramat Gan Stadium on July 15, according to an announcement by the International Committee for the Maccabi Games!

All of the Israeli aid is a grant. Modai was to meet with members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East. The committee was expected to begin consideration of the annual foreign aid bill in one week and the Administration said it hopes to submit precise figures for requested economic aid to Israel before then. Mubarak Asks More Funds The Congressional subcommittee hearings took place less than a week before President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt arrived in Washington with his own foreign aid requests. The Egyptian President has asked for a $1 billion economic aid package for the 1985 fiscal year. In his testimony, Shultz referred only to the Adminis tration's recommendation for an .increase in Egyptian military aid. He also maintained that the military aid level requested for Israel would help it keep its "qualitative edge over potential adversaries in the region."

Controversey Heats Up Over Need For Conversion Ritual For Ethiopian Jews In Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) - The controversy over whether the thousands of Ethiopian Jews who have just immigrated to Israel must undergo "Lehumra" — a form of conversion ritual— was heightened recently when Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Avraham Shapiro sharply criticized two former Chief Rabbis for maintaining it was not required. Shapiro said in an interview published in the religious daily Hatzofe that he could not understand why former Chief Rabbis Shlomo Goren (Ashkenazic) and Ovadia Yosef (Sephardic) have reversed what he claimed was their own longstanding positions on the issue. halacha — religious law. The Council agreed that the males need not undergo bloodletting, symbolic of circumcision, inasmuch as all Ethiopian Jews have been circumcized. Goren and Yosef, citing rabbinic sages of the past, declared that the Ethiopians are fully Jewish and require no conversion, symbolic or otherwise. "As far as I know," Shapiro said, "the entire Torah world is shocked by (Goren's and Yosef's reversal) and their determination that (the "Ethiopians) are full Jews without the need for any process whatsoever..."
