Israeli Squatters Take Over Kuneitra TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Israeli authorities are pondering what to do about a group of Israelis who settled themselves in the abandoned Syrian town of Kuneitra on the Golan Heighu in an apparent demonstration against an Israeli withdrawal from the town. So far no steps have been taken against the "settlers" who come from settlements on the Golan Heights, the Jordan Valley and the Huleh district. They made their move apparently in response to reports thai the government is prepared to pull back from Kuneitra, captured in (he Six-Day War, as one of the concessions offered toward disengagement with Syria. Those reports sparked widespresd protests and charge* that the surrender of Kuneitra would imperil the safely of all Golan settlements. The Ivseli plan wu said to include safeguards for the setllemeflDtt.

Rabbinical Assembly Expells Three Rabbis KIAMESHA LAKE, N.Y., (JTA) — Three rabbis were expelled from the Rabbinical Assembly, the association of Conservation rabbis, at the RA's 74th annual convention here. Rabbi Judah Nadich of New York, RA president, said the expulsions had been recommended earlier by the RA executive council and were approved by the overwlielmlng majority of the more than 1000 rabbinical delegates at the convention. The three rabbit are Gershon Winer, a New York rabbi now settled in Israel; J. Benjamin Friedberg of Ottawa; and Rabbi George Gershon Rosenslock of Chicago. Rabbis Winer and Frie<B)erg were expelled for rabbinical service to Beth Txedec Congregation of Toronto, Canada's largest synagogue, which has been without a senior rabbi since the cogregatlon's board of governors dismissed Rabbi Stuart Rosenberg In Jan. 1973. Rabbi Nadich said that the two rabbis had violated the RA's code of ethics.
He also said Rabbi Rdeenstock was expelled for officiating at a mixed marriage in Iowa, and was the first member in the history of the RA to be expelled for such officiating. The Rabbinical Assembly had ruled, after Rabbi Rosenberg's dismissal, that he remain spiritual leader of the congregtion and the pulpit continue to b« "not s'acant." Under the ruling, 'no RA member could carry out any rabbinical function without the express invitation of Rabbi Rosenberg or he express approval of the Joint Placement Commission of the RA, the United Synagogue of America, and the Jewish Theological Seminary which have been seeking for more than a year to resolve the dispute. Rabbi Winer led the High Holy Days services in 1973 at Beth Tzedec during one of his regular visits to North America. Rabbi Friedberg, one of several rabbis, who led services at Beth Tzedec in recent weeks, waa named
senior rabbi by the board of governors on May 2. Rabbi Nadich said that Rabbi Winer had defended his action at a hearing of the RA committee on ethical practices but was found guilty. The RA executive council recommended his expulsion. Rabbi Rosenstock also refused to appear before the committee on the mixed marriage officiating charge. Rabbi Nadich said. He noted that tiiere was no appeal from the rulings of the RA convention, the highest body in the Conservative rabbinate.
