...extremists are likely to lose rather than gain ground in Israel's religious life. Rabbi Shlomo Goren, 53, an Orthodox Halakhic scholar who is Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv, is an odds-on favorite to succeed Issar Yehuda Unterman, 86, as the country's powerful Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi, perhaps some time this year.

For 800 years, it has read: "As I dance in front of you and yet cannot touch you, so all my enemies should be unable to harm me." The rabbi suggested that...
Eshkol was willing to consider financial aid, but offered little hope for the other requests until Reform increased its ranks in Israel. Tel Aviv's chief rabbi, Brigadier General" Shlomo Goren, charged that "Reform leaders in America want to export their religion but not their bodies to Israel." To demonstrate an interest in exporting at least a few bodies, the progressives' governing board passed a resolution recommending that Reform Jews be encouraged to settle in Israel. Reform Rabbi Richard Hirsch of Washington, D.C., a leader of the progressives' union, will stay in Israel for at least several...
