The committee representing the Orthodox minority in the Cleveland Jewish Center has filed a motion in the Supreme Court of Ohio for an order directing the Court of Appeals to certify its record in the celebrated Jewish Orthodox-Conservative Congregation case for review in the Supreme Court for cause of error in decision.
In September the Court of Appeals had dismissed the suit of the Orthodox minority on the ground that it was a strictly ecclesiastical matter. For more than a year American Jewry has been watching with interest the progress of the dispute between the Conservative faction represented by Rabbi Goldman and the Orthodox faction by Abraham A. Katz. The latter has led the fight to keep the majority from turning the Jewish Center into a Conservative congregation.
