Some of the feeling of malaise can be understood in light of the euphoria that followed the 1967 war. "Expectations were raised so rapidly," says Shlomo Avineri, a political scientist at Hebrew University, "that even a small setback in the standard of living creates a huge psychological adjustment...
Winners in last week's voting, which allotted seats on the basis of party slate showings rather than to individual candidates, included Armored Force General Shlomo Lahat and outspoken Housewife Shulamit Aloni. Lahat campaigned for mayor of Tel Aviv as though he were waging a military campaign. "Give me a broom and I will sweep this city clean" was his slogan. In a country where sizable numbers of nonpracticing Jews apparently resent the religious laws that apply to everybody, Aloni appeared to have gained at least two seats in the Knesset for her small civil rights party, whose platform...
Speaking to a trade-union group in Jerusalem, the Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Shlomo Goren, demanded that Israel "uproot this affliction. There is nothing antidemocratic about such legislation, and decent people of all faiths will support it."

Arness has given Brandeis the entire ranch-$2 million worth of land, corrals...
...October, however, Israel's two chief rabbis-one of the Ashkenazic or Western tradition, the other of the Sephardic or Oriental tradition-were replaced in an election by younger men. New Ashkenazic Rabbi Shlomo Goren, 54, former chief chaplain of the army, as one of his first acts personally reviewed the Langer case. He learned that Borokovsky had been seen attending Christian services and was reported to keep pork in his home. Rabbi Goren convened a rabbinical court that declared that 1) Borokovsky's conversion was invalid, thus 2) Mrs. Langer's marriage to him was nullified...
