108 Walter Jacob

75. In the 1970s I was involved along with a representative of the American Conservative and Orthodox movements in an effort to agree on conversion procedures with the Israeli chief rabbinate. We met for a week in Jerusalem with a representative of the chief rabbinate, worked on an agreement, hammered out its wording, began to translate it from Hebrew into English , when at the last minute the chief rabbinate backed out. Aside from a pleasant visit to Israel and the rare books of the Schocken Library where the meetings were held, nothing was accomplished except a distrust of any future cooperative efforts with the Israeli rabbinate.
