Although the debate, both in Israel and the United States focused on a relatively narrow question an amendment to the Law of Return the wider issue in the debate is a question affecting Jews throughout the world: The definition of who is a Jew and who will be recognized as such in Israel. Following Begin's narrow electoral victory over the opposition Labor Party, two Israeli religious parties, the National Religious Party and Agudath Israel, both strongly Orthodox, sought to make amendment of the Law of Return the price Begin would have to pay for their joining his government. Under the change proposed by the Orthodox religious groups, those converted to Judaism by rabbis would not be recognized as Jews in Israel under the Law of Return. The Law currently grants every Jew the right to immigrate to Israel and become a citizen at once. Not only were the Orthodox religious parties seeking to amend the law but they also sought to make it a matter of party discipline, meaning that members of the coalition would have to vote for the proposal rather than vote their conscience on the issue. The proposal was sharply criticized in the United States by representatives of the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist Jewish movements as well as by Jewish community relations agencies, but strongly defended by America's Orthodox Jewish Sundance community. is offering a new, In a joint statement by the moderate U.S. Jewish different way said could the proposal lead religious groups, leaders s book. season a to "a dangerous schism in worldwide Jewish unity" s and could lead to undermining important support for The more books Israel among U.S. Jews. you buy, the cheaper the Reform Jews in the United States and Israel individual pass rate. already are at oddsVith the Orthodox in Israel and amendment of the Law of Return would have further So, this year instead of movements in a "disadvanplaced buying a season pass, buy s taged place in Israel." books and several "We feel morally obligated to state that the make the most of your ski proposed amendment will have the most serious condollar. y sequences for the North American Jewish and its institutions," the statement said.

There's an Answer r Concerned About Daughter because I don't feel capable of taking care of them, but my husband said he won't look after them. Please help me. I just can't think straight anymore. A. You are an honest person with the wonderful ability to take a straight look at yourself. Now take an even straighter look. You must never leave your children. And you can, for sure, take care of them. Face the facts of the situation you are now in. However it developed, this is it. So look for the best; turn it into the best. Act like a real woman. Act happy, act resourceful, for as we act we tend to become. Perhaps you will become so attractive (minus the drink and pills) that one of these days he will shake off this woman and come back home to stay. You've got what it takes. woman, have never married Q. I am a and have no children. I have been going with a man who is divorced and has three grown children. He is a grandfather. From the beginning of our three-yea- r relationship we have tried to break up because of the age difference. Every time we would get back together. Recently I moved out of town to try and forget him, mostly because he feels he is ruining my life. My life is so empty without him, and we both want to be married. Where is it written that people can only be in love if they are the same age? In the eyes of God are we sinning? A. I know of no authority for the view that people can be in love only if they are the same age. It is simply a sensible experience of the human race that when a couple of similar age marries it enables them to mature similarly. I see no evidence of sinning if the two of you truly love each other and have maintained a moral difference need not be a relationship. A deterrent to marriage if you are willing to accept the fact that one will age more rapidly. head examined? A. No, not at all. You seem quite normal.' Maybe your husband feels older than his years. Better be thankful your problem is not more serious. Keep on expressing your love for him, be kind and gentle and positiveand see if things don't improve, thankful your probletpositlve and see If things don't improve. Q.

My husband is getting to the retirement age and very rarely shows his love to me, only a card once a year or so. I need more than that. If I show a need for him through sex he says I have been reading too many books or watching trash on TV.

My daughter is planning to run away and take a bus back to where we lived before her father and I were divorced. Her boyfriend sent her money toward her bus fare. My daughter will have no place to live and no money. She cannot survive, of course, but she does not believe this. She has ideas about a fairy talelife she will live if she goes away, gets a job and is on her own. It's all insane and she could very easily end up dead. She has never had a job, is very shy and has a problem making friends. She flatly refuses to go to school. I asked God to help me, and maybe that's exactly what He was doing when He helped me to see your column. A. Perhaps many of us had our moments of wanting to run away when we were kids. But your daughter's motivation may be due to that deep desire in children of broken homes for a restoration of the united family sense of security, which has profound meaning for kids. It might be well not to stand in her way. Perhaps you can help her find a place to live and a job. She may find peace and perhaps herself, also. Keep the lines of communication open. Surround your daughter with love; put her in God's care and 2. 1981. Local and worldwide church news and commentaries Religion ST. LOUIS Mo.

My and blind after two massive heart attacks and a stroke. I go to see her in the nursing home every day and she keeps saying, "I don't know what I ever did that I should be punished this way. How could I have done anything so bad?" She was a good woman, a good wife and mother. So it tears me to pieces to see her go through such mental and physical torture. How can I make her understand that her afflications are not a punishment? I would like to ease her mind before god calls her home. ' A. Your dear mother has a fixed idea, an erroneous notion, that illness is a punishment by God, whereas it is entirely a scientific reaction to a physical condition.
