A local German labor court today rejected a suit brought against the Munich Jewish Community by its former rabbi, Dr. Aron Ohrenstein, who claimed that the notice of dismissal served upon him in late 1954-after a vote to that effect by the kehillah board–was invalid.

Dr. Ohrenstein was discharged, with three months notice, after his one-year sentence for fraud had been confirmed by the German Supreme Court. He and his followers have since that time conducted a campaign to sompel his reinstatement.
