Rabbi Jehuda Nadich, the organization's president, said the change, which is left to the individual decision of each rabbi and congregation, recognizes the new role that women are , playing in Jewish communal life. The decision was ap¬ proved by the Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards after long'and serious discussions. A significant minority was opposed feeling that tradition should be main¬ tained. The Conservative move brought denunciations from Orthodox groups. The heads of Agudath Israel of America, the Rabbinical Council of America and the Rabbinical Alliance of America all accused, the Conservative movement of violating halacha and at¬ tempting to attract new worshippers.

Dr. Allende is dead and; for the foreseeable future, so is the edifice he tried to build- unsuccessfully as it turned out—of a new economic and political system. For the first time since 1931 a military junta is ruling the country. What does this development mean for the approximately 25,000 Jews, more than half of whom came to Chile less than 40 years ago or were born in the country and never knew the meaning of a military regime? What does it mean for the Jews who were part of the Allende Ad¬ ministration and Cabinet? What does the new situation mean in terms of Chile- Israel . diplomatic relations? For the most part, it is still too early to venture any specific answer. But this much can be assumed: If the junta remains in power and consolidates its rule, or even if it transfers formal power to the hands of a puppet ''constitutional" or provisional government, relations with Israel will remain cordial; organized anti-Semitism will be discouraged, although sporadic anti-Jewish actions may increase on the part of the right-wing and the Arab League; and it is even likely that some of the 3500 of the 5000 Jews who left Chile but did not return after Dr. Allende became president,' may return. All thisPi of course, is predicated, orghe assumption that the junta is itself not deposed by. the powerful trade union movement, the left-wing forces and the formerly landless agricultural workers.
