SPRING GLEN. N.Y. A
leading Orthodox rabbi criticized
here what he called attempts by
Conservative and Reform groups
to undertake a program to utilize
the United Jewish Appeal, the
United Israel Appeal and Feder-
ation agencies throughout the
United States to press Israel to
grant their rabbis the right to of-
ficiate at marriages, divorce and
conversion in Israel.
Rabbi Sol Roth, president of
the Rabbinical Council of Amer-
ica, made the charge in his presi-
dential address at the opening of
the 45th annual convention of the
Orthodox rabbinical group.
Asserting there had been
"some deterioration in the area of
Jewish unity," Rabbi Roth
declared, "This attempt by Con-
servative and Reform groups to
achieve recognition in Israel by
pressing in such forms is not con-
sistent with the pattern that has
prevailed in Jewish life in the
past." _______
